Twenty-eight guinea pigs from nine episodes of subclinical scurvy had diarrhea, weight loss and dehydration. The classical signs of scurvy were not seen. Microscopically the epiphyses were attenutated and irregular. The amount of osteoid was less than normal. Many guinea pigs had acute enteritis. In some there were many hemosiderin-laden macrophages in the intestinal lamina propria. All episodes were associated with either autoclaving food without adequate supplementation or other inadequate feed management practices.
来自9例亚临床坏血病发作的28只豚鼠出现腹泻、体重减轻和脱水。未观察到坏血病的典型症状。显微镜下可见骨骺变细且不规则。类骨质的量低于正常水平。许多豚鼠患有急性肠炎。部分豚鼠的肠固有层中有许多含铁血黄素巨噬细胞。所有发作均与未充分补充营养而对食物进行高压灭菌或其他不当的饲料管理做法有关。
