A NEW TREATMENT FOR FELINE CAUDAL STOMATITIS FELINEGINGIVOSTOMATITIS

摘要

Stomattis is an inflammation of the non-gingival area of the inside of the mouth-stroma. Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gingival cavity only. Juvenile gingivitis may progress to stomatitis or gingivostomatitis (GS) which simply means an inflammation of the tissue lining within the mouth. Some pathologists emphasize the types of inflammatory cells which accumulate in oral mucosal lesions. What does the term lymphocytic-plasmacytic refer to? Acute oral inflammatory lesions are mainly associated with polymorphonuclear neutrophilic infiltrates, whereas increasing numbers and proportions of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Cats with GS will display one of two distinct histopathology inflammatory patterns; one is an uncommon diffuse inflammatory syndrome primarily of leukocytic exocytosis and may indicate an immunocompromised patient who requires immune-modulation medication. The other more common pattern is an interface (lichenoid) dermal-epidermal inflammatory reaction primarily of plasma cells. This indicates an immunoreactive, often over-responsive immune reaction; these should eliminate the stimulus for the immune system response.
