Focal hepatic necrosis in turkeys with hemorrhagic enteritis.
Disseminated acute focal hepatic coagulation necrosis was present in 9 turkeys submitted from 5 outbreaks of hemorrhagic enteritis. The lesion was unaccompanied by inflammatory cell infiltrate, biliary hyperplasia, or pancreatic necrosis, all of which tentatively distinguish this lesion from that of turkey viral hepatitis. No inclusion bodies were found.
