Histologically, this disease was characterized by the presence of lymphocytes and plasma cells spread throughout the liver parenchyma and in the portal stroma, with no evidence of hepatocyte necrosis. These animals showed non-specific chronic reactive hepatitis that varied from moderate to severe. In order of prevalence, the more common pathologies associated with NSRH were gastrointestinal and renal diseases, as well as pneumonia mainly of parasitic or infectious origin.
