Negri bodies may vary in size from 0.25 to 27 �m. They are found most frequently in the pyramidal cells of Ammon's horn, and the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. (references)

Perivascular infiltration with lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and plasma cells can occur throughout the entire CNS. Rabies infection frequently causes cytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusion bodies (Negri bodies) in neuronal cells, especially pyramidal cells of the hippocampus and Purkinje cells of the cerebellum.
