Intestinal and lymph node slides from 12 cows that had necropsy documented, advanced disease (Johne’s disease) due to Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) were analyzed to assess a possible relationship between the presence of eosinophils within the lamina propria and the demonstrability of acid-fast bacilli In three instances where significant eosinophilia was identified, an inverse correlation with the amount of demonstrable acid-fast bacilli present within intestinal slides and corresponding lymph node was identified. The role of eosinophils in the ultimate destruction of mycobacteria is discussed.
