The aim of the study was to compare, in 49 dogs with clinical and histopathological diagnosis of IBD, the endoscopic features (transforming the qualitative variables in quantitative ones by application of new codes), serum folate values, serum cobalamin values and the average number of T CD3 lymphocytes/500 μm in duodenal epithelial layer and the average number of T CD3 lymphocytes/10000 μm2 in duodenal lamina propria. A significant correlation (p<0.01 r=0.65) between T CD3 lymphocytes in epithelium and in lamina propria was found. A significant reduction (p<0.05) of serum cobalamin was recorded, after sample subdivision according to average number of T CD3 lymphocytes/500 μm, between mild to severe class of lymphocytes infiltration.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare, in 49 dogs with clinical and histopathological diagnosis of IBD, the endoscopic features (transforming the qualitative variables in quantitative ones by application of new codes), serum folate values, serum cobalamin values and the average number of T CD3 lymphocytes/500 μm in duodenal epithelial layer and the average number of T CD3 lymphocytes/10000 μm2 in duodenal lamina propria. A significant correlation (p<0.01 r=0.65) between T CD3 lymphocytes in epithelium and in lamina propria was found. A significant reduction (p<0.05) of serum cobalamin was recorded, after sample subdivision according to average number of T CD3 lymphocytes/500 μm, between mild to severe class of lymphocytes infiltration.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
