Macroscopic pathology will include multiple white foci of necrosis within the liver with associated mild to moderate enteritis. There may also be serosal oedema together with hyperaemia of the intestines. The intestines may also contain foamy, yellow faecal contents. There is also a potential for brain and cardiac involvement. A resultant septicaemia may lead to myocardial lesions and encephalitis. Microscopic pathology will include coagulative liver necrosis with only minimal inflammatory cell infiltrate. Definitive diagnosis is by demonstration of the organism within hepatocytes surrounding necrotic foci of the liver.

There may also be serosal oedema together with hyperaemia of the intestines. Intestinal lesions will be most pronounced in the distal ileum and cecum but can also occur in the duodenum, jejunum and colon. The intestines may also contain foamy, yellow faecal contents.
