  MedFriendly.com: Ileitis
Ileitis is a relatively rare condition in which there is inflammation of the ileum.
Ileitis can also involve the colon, which is the major part of the large intestine.
Another cause of ileitis is Crohn's disease, in which any part of the digestive tract (most commonly the lower part of the ileum) becomes inflamed.

  WebWire® | New vaccine prevents disease related financial losses for farmers
Ileitis (porcine proliferative enteropathy) is a common enteric disease of pigs which is transmitted by oral-faecal infection with the bacteria Lawsonia intracellularis.
The economic impact of clinical and sub-clinical forms of Ileitis is estimated to cost between €1.3 and €18.5 per affected pig depending on the severity and duration of the disease3,4.
All grow/finish pigs, breeding sows and gilts are licensed to be vaccinated with Enterisol® Ileitis.

 ileitis
The condition of ileitis widely referred to in the pig farming media is in fact an altered name for a complex of diseases that have been recognised from several decades — PIA.
The cause of "ileitis" is now known to be a unique type of bacteria called Lawsonia intracellularis, which lives inside the cells lining the gut (enterocytes) and alters then to induce disfunction.
At a milder level, it may be possible to identify ileitis (thickening of the lower end of the small intestine) in pigs at slaughter.

 WebWire® | Enterisol® Ileitis approved in Australia - first live swine vaccine ever in this market
Enterisol® Ileitis has been approved for the active immunization of pigs against the bacteria Lawsonia intracellularis as an aid to prevent and control porcine proliferative enteropathy.
Ileitis (porcine proliferative enteropathy) is a common enteric disease of pigs, which causes severe intestinal lesions, diarrhea and gut-bleedings which can negatively affect the growth performance in fattening due to reduced weight gain, extra feed costs in growing pigs and increased body weight variation at slaughter.
Ileitis is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide which affects swine production.

Swine ileitis or proliferative enteropathy is a common enteric disease of grow-finish pigs.
The acute form of ileitis causes a sudden onset of diarrhea with inflammation in the ileum of the small intestine and the colon, and even death.
Treatment of this swine disease with an antimicrobial is often successful in reducing the severity of ileitis and helps to reduce the risk of chronic disease.

Therapy includes replacement of fluid to counter dehydration and loss of minerals, bed rest, a bland diet free of roughage, antibiotics to control secondary infection, and corticosteroids, or corticoids, to reduce inflammation.

Ileitis – also known as Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy (PPE) – is a gastrointestinal disease prevalent in swine herds around the world.
Ileitis alone is estimated to cost between $2 and $22 per pig.
Unfortunately, ileitis is difficult to diagnose because distinctive signs are rare and clinical signs are similar to other enteric diseases.

 Ileitis Lawsonia intracellularis in pig hogs swine
Since the fulfillment of Kochs' postulates in 1993 and identification of the antibiotic sensitivity of the organism in 1995, the major areas of ileitis research in the past few years have focused on i/ combining new diagnostic tools with targeted medication programs, ii/ developing vaccines and iii/ developing information necessary for potential eradication programs.
Firstly, the development of immunity to L intracellularis has been demonstrated during sequential natural outbreaks of acute hemorrhagic PE.12 An initial outbreak affected breeding sows and boars of all ages, which was controlled with antibiotics.
They have now reported proof of the concept of vaccination for ileitis in experimental challenge studies following vaccination with this avirulent NP40 strain delivered in water or intranasally.13 In one study, groups of pigs received different intranasal doses with a 2 ml volume of the L. intracellularis vaccine strain, or remained unvaccinated.

 B cells played the limited role to develop murine Ileitis after intracellular parasite infection orally
The lymphocyte population was isolated from the lamina propria.
In our model of pathogen driven ileitis, B cells appear to play a direct role in the induction of the T cell response although the specific role for antibody function remains elusive.
The observed delay in the development of the hyperinflammatory ileitis would indicate that although B cells contribute to the lethal process there are other immune cell compartments involved in the initiation of this deleterious immune response.

The proliferative lesions of ileitis are usually associated with the terminal ileum but may spread into the caecum, colon or even up to the jejunum.
In the selection of appropriate antimicrobial medication, it is important to bear in mind that PE may be only one component of a complex 'colitis' etiology, including dietary and management factors.
