Time course of caspase-3 reactive cells quantification in in BALB/c lung, liver and kidney tissue. a Lung sections at 7, 10 and 14 dpi presented the highest levels of caspase-3 positive cells compared to initial dpi. b Number of caspase-3 reactive cells in liver sections mostly detected at 14 and 21 dpi. c Kidney sections showed superior number of caspase-3 reactive cells at 14 and 21 dpi, both compared to early stages of infection and to control group. Values are means ± SD (n = 5 animals). * Statistically different, p < 0.05
