Illustration of a moderately advanced swollen, inflamed Peyer's patch with scabbing. Peyer's patches are lymphatic nodules found in the ileum (lower part of the small intestine). They are crucial for monitoring the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestine. Inflammation of Peyer's patches can be caused by typhoid or intestinal tuberculosis. | |
