Moderate to severe, chronic, segmental eosinophilic enteritis was diagnosed histopathologically in a 2-year-old, specific-pathogen-free cat. Peripheral eosinophilia was not observed, although eosinophilic infiltrates were found in mesenteric lymph nodes. Typical gastrointestinal signs characteristic of this disease (diarrhea, vomiting, and anorexia) were not seen; only weight loss was observed. Treatment was not instituted. Previously reported cases of feline eosinophilic enteritis have been associated with several domestic breeds having a diversity of backgrounds. The cat of this report had a known genealogy and disease-free history, was reared under barrier conditions, and was fed a restricted diet. The cause of the disease in this cat was not determined.
一只2岁的无特定病原体猫经组织病理学诊断为中度至重度慢性节段性嗜酸性肠炎。尽管在肠系膜淋巴结中发现了嗜酸性粒细胞浸润，但未观察到外周嗜酸性粒细胞增多。未出现该疾病典型的胃肠道症状（腹泻、呕吐和厌食）；仅观察到体重减轻。未进行治疗。先前报道的猫嗜酸性肠炎病例与背景各异的几个家猫品种有关。本报告中的猫有已知的谱系且无疾病史，在屏障条件下饲养，并给予限制饮食。该猫的病因尚未确定。
