Proventriculus, gizzard: hemorrhages.
Morphologic diagnosis:
Proventriculus (mucosa): Moderate multifocal acute hemorrhage
Clinical description:
This image was taken 3 days post experimental inoculation with highly pathogenic avian influenza. The proventricular glands have extensive hemorrhagic lesions, typical of HPAI. In HPAI the koilin, which lines the mucosal surface of the gizzard (ventriculus) peels away easily and, as seen here, hemorrhages in the underlying mucosa may be observed. Additionally, erosions and ulcers may also be observed.
Pathologic description:
The tips of the proventricular glands are bright red.
