LESIONS

• The important lesions are hepatic cell necrosis leading to change in colour of the live, which may be normal in size or swollen. The gallbladder wall may be edematous and thickened. Grayish white foci are also seen in the kidney cortex. Damage to the endothelium of intestine results in “paintbrush” hemorrhages on the gastric serosa, lymph nodes, thymus, pancreas, and subcutaneous tissues.
