Oral disorders of small animals constitute a problem for veterinarians. Chronic oral infections are commonly seen in domestic cats. The objectives of this study were to characterise feline oral lesions, common feline dental problems, and especially the association of oral disease and systemic disease in cats. Two hundred and twenty cats referred over a period of 33 months to the Internal Medici...

There are two lesions which are often confused despite their quite distinct clinical and pathological differences: the inflammatory fibroid polyp and eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Other eosinophilic lesions likely to be encountered in the gut also pose problems of differential diagnosis.

The paper describes a clinical case of primary eosinophilic enterocolitis in a 41-year-old female patent. It presents a brief review of the literature on the problem of primary eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal diseases.

Eosinophilic infiltration, localised or diffuse, of the gastrointestinal tract cannot be regarded as a definitive diagnosis; neither can a classification of disease, in which this is a feature, be founded on the degree or site of such infiltration. Eosinophilia is merely a manifestation of inflammation, often with an allergic basis, and accompanies a number of well defined clinicopathological c...

Celiac disease is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder, characterized by small intestinal inflammation and villous atrophy after the ingestion of gluten by genetically susceptible individuals. Several extraintestinal manifestations have been associated to celiac disease. Eosinophilic esophagitis is a primary disorder of the esophagus characterized by upper gastrointestinal symptoms, absence of g...

Few clinical studies have so far focused on gastrointestinal motility in patients with eosinophilic gastroenteritis. A 29-year-old man was evaluated for epigastralgia of unknown origin. A histopathological examination of biopsy specimens from the duodenum revealed numerous eosinophilic infiltrations. Eosinophilic enteritis was therefore diagnosed. The patient received oral prednisolone and his ...
