Macroscopic (gross) pathology of lungs among experimental groups based on the lung index of macroscopic pathology (LIMP). (a) Normal lung showing no signs of haemorrhage. (b) Infected lung with large haemorrhage and abscess (>40 mm2). (c) Swollen lungs with hyperemia, small atelectasis, and moderate haemorrhage (10 mm2–40 mm2). (d) Swollen lungs with hyperemia, atelectasis, and small haemorrhage (<10 mm2).
