Bracht–Wachter bodies

Bracht–Wachter bodies are a finding in infective endocarditis[1] consisting of yellow-white miliary spots in the myocardium.

Histologically, these are collections of chronic inflammatory cells, mainly lymphocytes[2] and histiocytes.

They were described by two Germans, Erich Franz Eugen Bracht, a pathologist and obstetrician-gynecologist, and Hermann Julius Gustav Wächter, a physician.
