  • Title: [Chronic inflammatory bowel diseases in cats].
    Author: Ghermai AK.
    Journal: Tierarztl Prax; 1989; 17(2):195-9. PubMed ID: 2763292.
    Abstract:
    The aetiology of chronic idiopathic intestinal inflammation is unknown. It is characterized by a diffuse infiltration with inflammatory cells into the intestinal mucosa and sometimes submucosa. Cats with chronic intermittent vomiting and diarrhoea, later on accompanied by anorexia and weight loss, are presented. Definitive diagnosis can be obtained by intestinal biopsy only. An immune pathogenesis is suspected, which is supported by the fact, that chronic inflammatory bowel disease responds to steroid therapy.
