L’objectif de ce travail est de comparer le lymphome intestinal et l’Inflammatory Bowel Disease (ci-après IBD) chez le chat domestique sur la base des signes échographiques observés et à l’aide de diverses techniques diagnostiques. Cette comparaison sera présentée sous forme d’une synthèse narrative comparative et d’une étude rétrospective basée sur 50 chats présentés dans l’année pour un examen échographique de l’abdomen à la Clinique Vétérinaire Universitaire de Liège.

Cette étude se penche sur les entéropathies chroniques félines (feline chronic enteropathy - FCE), qui sont des pathologies caractérisées par des signes gastro-intestinaux évoluant depuis plus de 3 semaines et qui sont dépourvues de causes extra-abdominales ou intestinales infectieuses, obstructives ou néoplasiques localisées.
Les causes les plus fréquentes de FCE sont inflammatoires (principalement IBD) et tumorales (principalement lymphome alimentaire). Ces pathologies se manifestent par un épaississement pariétal intestinal, spécifique à la musculeuse, ce qui rend le diagnostic impossible si l’on se base uniquement sur les signes échographiques.
C’est pourquoi il s’avère nécessaire d’utiliser d’autres techniques diagnostiques pour distinguer ces deux pathologies, telles que des tests de laboratoire, l’endoscopie, l’histopathologie, l’immunohistochimie et des tests de clonalité.

The incidence of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases is steadily increasing. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is one example of a chronic inflammatory disease, which primarily affects the intestine but may also affect extraintestinal organs. The exact pathogenesis of IBD is currently unknown. However, it is clear that the pathogenesis is complex, involving barrier defects, changes in the intestinal microbiome, and chronic immune activation. This book aims to summarize basic aspects of these complex interactions between barrier function, microbiome, and the immune system. Of note, there is currently no cure for IBD. However, several therapies have evolved in the last years, which are overall able to-at least temporarily-suppress IBD. These therapies and the underlying mechanism are discussed.

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, referred to collectively as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are chronic debilitating disorders. IBD, particularly Crohn's disease, is increasing everywhere, most notably in the Western world where about 1 in 200 people now has the condition. This highly readable, 'zippy' fifth edition of 'Fast Facts: Inflammatory Bowel Disease' provides succinct yet thorough information that will aid early recognition of these disorders and their complications, alongside practical holistic management advice. With important emphasis on the doctor–patient relationship and effective multidisciplinary services, 'Fast Facts: Inflammatory Bowel Disease' is an invaluable resource for all primary care providers, hospital doctors in training, nurses, stoma therapists, dieticians, psychologists, counselors and social workers; in fact, all health professionals involved in the care of patients with IBD, as well as patients who wish to know more about their condition. Contents: • Etiopathogenesis • Clinical features and intestinal complications • Extraintestinal manifestations and complications • Diagnosis • Drugs used to treat inflammatory bowel disease • Principles of management • Medical management of ulcerative colitis • Medical management of Crohn’s disease • Surgery • IBD in pregnancy, childhood and old age • Prognosis

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is in fact two long-term conditions – ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease – that cause problems in the digestive system. No two patients with IBD have the same experience. How the disease progresses, the type of complications and the response to treatment all differ from person to person. The information in this booklet is designed to help you and your family better understand your IBD, its treatment and how you can help yourself. With simple clear illustrations, explanation of medical terms and space to write down the questions you want to ask your doctor or nurse, this resource will help you take control of your condition. Contents: • What is IBD? • What is ulcerative colitis? • What is Crohn’s disease? • Long-term complications • What causes IBD? • How is IBD treated? • How to stay healthy • Drugs – what you need to know • How will my condition be monitored? • Will I need surgery? • Does IBD affect fertility or pregnancy? • IBD in children and the elderly
