Morphologic diagnosis:
Coelomic cavity: Moderate acute multifocal petechia. Coelomic cavity: Fibrinous coelomitis (presumed secondary to unrelated egg-yolk peritonitis)
Clinical description:
This image was taken 2 days post experimental inoculation with highly pathogenic avian influenza. In HPAI, pinpoint petechial lesions are common on the serosal surfaces of organs such as the intestines, seen here.
Pathologic description:
The serosal surfaces of the intestinal loops and the mesenteric fat are stippled by numerous, pinpoint red foci and portions of the intestines are coated by strands of yellow, friable material.
