Dz of dogs and cats with chronic GI signs for which no other cause is documented

Affected animals who fail to respond to parasiticides, antibiotics, diet

On histopath, mucosal changes include inflammatory infiltrate so some combo of lymphocytes, plasma cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages and there are more there than with the normal immune defense

Can involve stomach AND/OR SI AND/OR LI

A

Inflammatory Bowel Dz (IBD)

63
Q

Why do they get IBD?

A

Multifactorial cause

  1. disruption of the physiologic interaction of innate and adaptive immune response
  2. defective mucosal barrier –> influx of food antigens and microbes into Lamina Propria where they rigger pro inflammatory cytokines from T cells
  3. Can include inappropriate rxn to commensal bacteria, food antigen, idiopathic/primary abnormality of the innate immune system
64
Q

What is the most common IBD?

A

Lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate

65
Q

What is the pathogenicity of Lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate?

A

Loss of normal villous structure
Goblet cell changes: associated with more severe disease

A

Low clinical disease score
Albumin >2.0 (regular: 3.0-4.2 g/dL)
Normal B12
Normal to minimal inflammation on hisopathology

67
Q

How do we tx minimal change enteropathy (MCE)?

A

Deworm (Fenbendazole)
Diet trial
Antibiotic trial (if good response, trial to probiotics); chronic therapy w tyrosine may be necessary in some pets

68
Q

Blue box: It is not infrequent that biopsies are acquired BEFORE deworming, diet trial and antibiotic trial has been pursued. Why?

Culture of mucosal biopsy, LN, other organs
Special stains on histopathology (GMS, PAS)

Tx underlying infectious dz
Antibiotic trial
Immunosuppressive meds IF infectious dz excluded

Prognosis: guarded to poor if underlying etiologic agent not ID’d
