  • 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.
