Colon and cloaca: Severe multifocal acute ulcers with fibrinous colitis and cloacitis
Clinical description:
This image was taken 5 days post experimental inoculation with viscerotropic velogenic Newcastle disease. Birds that survive the first several days of the infection typically have more severe post-mortem hemorrhagic lesions, as seen here.
Pathologic description:
The cloaca and the descending colon have been opened to reveal the mucosal surfaces. The mucosal surfaces are covered by multiple, randomly distributed, well demarcated defects that are covered by hemorrhage and slightly granular, pale yellow tags of deposits of tissue.
