Herpes simplex virus infection in respiratory cytology is characterized by multinucleated giant cells with ground-glass chromatin and nuclear molding. Infected cells often contain eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions (Cowdry type A) surrounded by a clear halo. These cytopathic changes are typical of herpesvirus family infections and can be seen in herpes pneumonia or tracheobronchitis, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Recognition of these features is important for prompt antiviral therapy and appropriate infection control measures.
