Explanation

Negri bodies are large, pathogenic, cellular inclusions found in the cytoplasm of nerve cells containing rabies virus. Negri bodies consist of nuclear proteins produced by the virus. Mantoux is a tuberculin sensitivity test, it is a screening test for T.B.  Maltese crosses are anisotropic fat droplets, related to finely granulated renal casts. Maltese cross fluorescence is seen in case of Cryptococcus. FTA ABS test is blood test tool for detecting antibodies to the bacteria Treponema pallidum that causes syphilis.
