Idiopathic Eosinophilic Enteritis
- Dairy cows
- Thickened small intestine, mesenteric lymphadenopathy.
- 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.
