==Lymphocytic - Plasmacytic Enteritis==
====Pathology====
* Hypersensitivity reaction results in increased GIT permeablility and recruitment of inflammatory cells.
* Histologically:
** Mucosal epithelial-glandular alterations.
** Variably increased mucosal infiltrate of lymphocytes and plasma cells.
*** In these dogs there is an increase in the number of [[IgA]] and [[IgG]] containing cells and CD3+ T-cells.
**** Can develop into lymphoma.
*** Changes in the relative and absolute numbers of plasma cells and lymphocytes have been associated with IBD in humans.
