==Idiopathic Eosinophilic Enteritis==
*Dairy cows
*Thickened [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology|small intestine]], mesenteric lymphadenopathy.
*[[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology|small intestine]]
**Marked oedema, lymphangiectasia without vasculitis
**Eosinophilic infiltration of the intestinal mucosa (esp. at the villus tip).
*Eosinophilic enteritis associated with hypoalbuminaemia, hypoglobulinaemia and eosinophilia in other species. The extent of the biochemical changes reflect the extent of the histological changes in the gut.
**Not so in these cases.
*In man, eosinophilic enteritis called if ≥20 eosinophils per HPF in the gut.
*No cause in these cattle found … although loweed ingestion can cause eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
