Severe lymphocytic-plasmacytic and atrophic gastritis, as well as, predominantly eosinophilic, severe enteritis, in a 19-month-old Labrador retriever
Abstract
A 19-month-old, male, Labrador retriever was presented with a history of chronic vomiting. Blood analysis and abdominal ultrasononography could not rule out the possibility of gastrointestinal inflammation. Histologic examination of endoscopic gastrointestinal biopsies confirmed severe lymphocytic-plasmacytic and atrophic gastritis, as well as, predominantly eosinophilic, severe enteritis.
Résumé — Gastrite lymphoplasmocytaire et atrophique sévère, avec entérite sévère à prédominance éosinophilique, chez un Labrador retriever de 19 mois. Un Labrador retriever mâle de 19 mois a été présenté pour un problème de vomissements chroniques. Des analyses sanguines et une échographie abdominale n’ont pu éliminer la possibilité d’inflammation gastro- intestinale. L’histopathologie des biopsies gastro-intestinales, effectuées par endoscopie, a confirmé le diagnostic de gastrite lymphoplasmocytaire et atrophique sévère et d’entérite sévère à prédominance éosinophilique.
