The aim of the current study was to retrospectively evaluate the clinical and ultrasonographic findings in cats with histologic evidence of eosinophilic inflammation on gastrointestinal biopsy. Twenty-five cats with tissue eosinophilia on surgical (10) or endoscopic (15) biopsy of the gastrointestinal tract, having an abdominal ultrasound performed within 48 h of biopsy acquisition, were enrolled. History, clinical presentation, clinical pathology and abdominal ultrasound findings were reviewed. Intestinal biopsies were evaluated by a single pathologist and separated into two groups based on the degree of eosinophilic infiltrate: mild (&lt;10 eosinophils\/high-power field [HPF], 11\/25 cats), or moderate\/marked (&gt;10 eosinophils\/HPF, 14\/25 cats). The former were considered primary lymphoplasmacytic or lymphocytic inflammatory bowel disease (LPE) with subtle eosinophilic infiltrates, and the latter to have EE. Signalment, history and clinical signs were similar in all cats. Only cats with EE (6\/14) had palpably thickened intestines. The only distinguishing clinicopathological feature of cats with EE was the presence of peripheral eosinophilia (6\/14). On ultrasound, when compared with cats with LPE, cats with EE had a greater mean jejunal wall thickness (3.34 mm \u00b1 0.72 mm vs 4.07 mm \u00b1 0.58 mm, respectively) and an increased incidence of thickening of the muscularis layer (1\/11 and 11\/14, respectively). In conclusion, ultrasonographic evidence of a prominent intestinal muscularis layer, palpably thickened intestines and peripheral eosinophilia can serve as biomarkers for the presence of EE in cats with chronic intestinal signs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x14525385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,3]],"date-time":"2014-03-03T23:29:25Z","timestamp":1393889365000},"page":"950-956","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Clinicopathological and ultrasonographic features of cats with eosinophilic enteritis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Samuel","family":"Tucker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, North Grafton, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dominique G","family":"Penninck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, North Grafton, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John H","family":"Keating","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, North Grafton, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cynthia RL","family":"Webster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, North Grafton, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cgh.2010.04.022"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00535-008-2230-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","first-page":"1616","article-title":"A review of eosinophilic gastroenterocolitis","volume":"98","author":"Baig M","year":"2006","unstructured":"Baig M, Qadir A, Rasheed J.
