Morphologic diagnosis:
Proventriculus and gizzard (ventriculus): Moderate acute multifocal hemorrhage
Clinical description:
This image was taken 3 days post experimental inoculation with highly pathogenic avian influenza. Often the lining of gizzard (ventriculus) will peel off easily, revealing underlying ulcers and erosions.
Pathologic description:
The proventriculus (top) and gizzard (ventriculus) (bottom) have been opened and the koilin has been peeled away from the ventriculus to reveal the underlying mucosa. There are numerous, small red foci scattered over the proventricular glands and there are larger areas of similar hemorrhages on the ventricular mucosa.
