“…Mesenteric lymphadenitis is characterized by inflammatory involvement of intra-abdominal lymph nodes and has been reported in humans, pigs, cats, and dogs [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. This inflammatory process can originate immunologically or infectiously [6,9]. When infectious, the main etiological agents are Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus canis, Prevotella sp., and more recently, Salmonella enterica [2,[5][6][7][8].…”

“…Case reports of dogs with a history of raw meat ingestion and subsequent development of mesenteric lymphadenitis due to Salmonella enterica have been published [7,8]. The disease can also be classified as idiopathic when there is no history that allows for the classification of the infection's origin [6]. Despite being severe, the disease is considered rare in both veterinary and human medicine, and when reported, it appears as isolated cases [1,6].…”

Suppurative mesenteric lymphadenitis is rarely described in veterinary medicine and is usually associated with other gastrointestinal or urinary tract diseases, immunosuppression, and infectious diseases. The aim of this study was to report a case of recurrent suppurative mesenteric lymphadenitis caused by coagulase-positive Staphylococcus in a 3-year-old female Shih Tzu dog, highlighting the importance of performing bacterial culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing for disease resolution. The animal was attended at the private Veterinary Hospital, in Vila Velha city, Espírito Santo, presenting clinical signs of abdominal pain in the hypogastric region, apathy, anorexia, and oligodipsia, along with a history of fever one day before and two similar episodes that were resolved with antimicrobial use. The patient had enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes and laboratory abnormalities consistent with an infectious process. Bacterial culture, following fine needle aspiration biopsy of the lymph nodes guided by ultrasound, identified the agent, and antibiotic susceptibility testing classified the bacterium as multidrug-resistant. The treatment instituted was meropenem combined with pain and fever control, leading to improvement of clinical signs, laboratory abnormalities, and disease remission. The patient did not experience recurrence, totaling 640 days of follow-up until the present time.

Mesenteric lymph node abscesses due to Escherichia coli in a cat

A 3‐year‐old, castrated male mixed‐breed cat presented with an almost 2‐year history of chronic loose stools. On radiography and ultrasound examination, there were two masses in the centre of the abdomen. Contrast‐enhanced computed tomography revealed that the masses were enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes with fluid accumulation. Percutaneous lesion drainage yielded pus‐like fluid. Fluid cytology revealed numerous neutrophils and Gram‐negative rods. Pus culture identified Escherichia coli as the causative organism. Consequently, mesenteric lymph node abscesses were definitively diagnosed. Since computed tomography showed that the abscesses adhered to the surrounding tissues, it was difficult to remove them surgically. With drainage and antimicrobial therapy, the mesenteric lymph nodes gradually decreased in size. However, loose stools persisted. The cat's diet was changed to a hydrolysed diet, and the clinical symptoms improved, suggesting food‐responsive enteropathy. This may be an underlying disease of lymph node abscesses. Lymph node abscesses limited to the mesenteric lymph nodes rarely occur in veterinary medicine, and this is the first report in cats.
