Additional findings in the liver included a granuloma with central necrosis in one sub-adult, focal necrosuppurative hepatitis in two adults and variably intense (multi)focal hepatic necrosis with haemorrhage and pyogranulomatous inflammation in another three adults. In one pubescent shrew helminth parasites were observed within and outside multifocal suppurative hepatitis and haemorrhage. Five of the 43 animals exhibited granulomas within the pancreas of Aselli, with a central area of necrosis and/or mineralization (four shrews) or an embedded nematode (one animal). Focal pyogranulomatous (two adults) or suppurative inflammation (two adults), the latter in one case surrounding a nematode, were also observed. The marginal sinuses of one subadult shrew contained extensive focal accumulations of neutrophils, occasionally surrounding areas of necrosis.
