| ulcerative colitis: extracolonic manifestations | <radiology> Iritis, erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum, pericholangitis, chronic active hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, fatty liver, spondylitis, peripheral arthritis, coincidental rheumatoid arthritis, thrombotic complications see: ulcerative colitis (12 Dec 1998) |
| ulcerative dermatosis | An infectious disease of sheep characterised by crusted ulcers on the skin of the face, feet, and external genitalia; thought to be caused by the orf virus. Synonym: lip and leg ulceration. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ulcerative lymphangitis | <pathology> A disease of horses and cattle caused by bacteria in the genus Corynebacterium, it causes infection and swelling in the lymph nodes and ulceration of wounds (typically abrasions on the leg) that are the site of entry for the bacteria. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ulcerative pharyngitis | Inflammation of the pharynx marked by ulceration of the mucosa; may have a viral aetiology. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulcerative stomatitis | <dermatology> Roundish pearl-coloured specks or flakes in the mouth, on the lips, etc, terminating in white sloughs, better known as thrush and the specks are called aphthae. Synonym: thrush, candidiasis. Origin: Sing. Of Aphthae. L, fr. Gr. (mostly in pl, Hipp) an eruption, thrush, fr. To set on fire, inflame. (25 Jun 1999) |
| acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis | An acute or recurrent gingivitis of young and middle-aged adults characterised clinically by gingival erythema and pain, fetid odour, and necrosis and sloughing of interdental papillae and marginal gingiva which gives rise to a gray pseudomembrane; fever, regional lymphadenopathy, and other systemic manifestations also may be present. A fusiform bacillus and Treponema vincentii can be isolated from the gingival tissues in large numbers and are felt to play a significant but poorly defined role in the pathogenesis. Synonym: fusospirochetal gingivitis, trench mouth, ulceromembranous gingivitis, Vincent's disease, Vincent's infection. (05 Mar 2000) |

| bovine ulcerative mammillitis | An ulcerative disease of the skin of the bovine teat caused by bovine herpesvirus type 2. Synonym: bovine ulcerative mammillitis. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: thrush, candidiasis. Origin: Sing. Of Aphthae. L, fr. Gr. (mostly in pl, Hipp) an eruption, thrush, fr. To set on fire, inflame. (25 Jun 1999) |
| gingivitis, necrotizing ulcerative | An acute or chronic gingival infection characterised by redness and swelling, necrosis extending from the interdental papillae along the gingival margins, pain, haemorrhage, necrotic odour, and often a pseudomembrane. The condition may extend to the oral mucosa, tongue, palate, or pharynx. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chronic ulcerative proctitis | Probably a variant of ulcerative colitis involving the rectum; some cases progress to involve the remainder of the colon as well. Synonym: chronic ulcerative proctitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colitis, ulcerative | Inflammation of the large intestine (the colon). Cause unknown. Intermittent rectal bleeding, crampy abdominal pain and diarrhoea can be symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Diagnosis can be made by barium enema, but direct visualization (sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy) is the most accurate test. Long-standing ulcerative colitis increases the risk for colon cancer. Ulcerative colitis can also be associated with inflammation in joints, spine, skin, eyes, the liver and its bile ducts. Treatment of ulcerative colitis can involve medications and surgery.
