The mucosa eroded to produce lesions of darkish-red submucosa covered in dry, crumbly fibrin.
Is usually caused by severe damage due to secondary bacterial infection following an earlier milder insult.
Tends to be more severe in the lower small intestine and upper large intestine.
- Many severe infections tend to get worse further down the gut.
  - Catarrhal change may be seen in the upper small intestine and fibrinous change in the lower small intestines.
