Enteritis scoring index [29].
| Score | Description | Mucosal folds | Infiltration of IELS | Goblet cells density | LP | SNV appearance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Normal | Basal length | Few in SM basal small quantity | Scattered cells | Normal size LP | Basal SNV size |
| 2 | Minor | Some shrinkage and bloating | Increased number in SM and some migration into LP | Increased number and sparsely distributed | Increased size of LP | Some size reduction |
| 3 | Moderate | Diffused shrinkage and onset of tissue disruption | Increased migration into LP | Diffused number widely spread | Medium size LP | Diffused size reduction |
| 4 | Marked | Diffused tissue disruption | Diffused number in LP and SM | Densely grouped cells | Large LP | Onset of extinction |
| 5 | Severe | Total tissue disruption | Dense leucocytes in LP and SM | Highly abundant and tightly packed cells | Largest LP | No SNV |
Abbreviations: IELs, intraepithelial leukocytes; LP, lamina propria; SM, submucosa; SNV, supranuclear vacuoles.
