Ulcerative Enteritis

• Ulcerative enteritis is relatively uncommon.
• Very severe lesions pentrate through the mucosa, producing haemorrhage and death, e.g.
  • In dogs with a mast cell tumour.
  • In bovine viral diarrhoea-mucosal disease.
  • In some bacterial diseases
    • e.g. Salmlonellosis
      • Salmonella typically produces a broad spectrum of disease.
      • Classically may produce 'button' ulcers, especially in the terminal small intestine and upper large intestine (Ileocaecocolic junction).
        • Seen particularly in Salmonella cholerae suis in the pig.
