pleuropneumonia/edema

OBJECTIVE Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae causes an often fatal infection of swine due to pleuropneumonia. To determine if inflammatory cytokines are associated with A. pleuropneumoniae-induced pneumonia, infected and noninfected animals were concomitantly administered saline or

BACKGROUND Septic pleuropneumonia is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in horses, but there is limited data available regarding factors associated with survival. OBJECTIVE To identify factors predictive of survival in horses with septic pleuropneumonia. METHODS A total of 97 horses with

Eighteen young native male and female goats were divided into 3 equal groups. Kerosene was given to Groups 1, 2 and 3 as single doses of 10, 20 or 40 ml/kg bw respectively. Clinical signs In-Group 1 were mild behavioral changes and in Group 2 were mild to moderate bloat, coughing and behavioral

Acute glomerulonephritis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae is a low prevalence pathology. There are several reports communicating different nephritogenic serotypes, however, 6C has been scarcely indicated as such. It is presented the case of a 4-year-old patient who entered Intensive Therapy Unit

Lower airway problems of the adult horse are commonly encountered by the practitioner. Particularly susceptible populations include horses transported for any significant distance and young horses grouped together for training and/or competition. This article presents some of the commonly

Two cases of intrapulmonally located non-Hodgkin lymphoma, originally subjected to stationary treatment under the suspicion of pleurapneumonia with pleurorrhea, are presented herein with the goal to show that no-Hodgkin lymphoma should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of

The trial was carried out in a large Hungarian 2000 sow "farrow-to-finish" production unit. Out of a total number of 15,841 evaluated growing/finishing pigs, 1319 pigs died or were emergency-culled and were post-mortem routinely examined. For the purpose of this study the emergency-culling and

Respiratory infection by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae causes a highly pathogenic necrotizing pleuropneumonia with severe edema, hemorrhage and fever. Acute infection is characterized by expression of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6 and IL-8. To determine if high level

Seven pigs inoculated endobronchially with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) serotype 1 developed acute and subacute necrotizing pleuropneumonia. When treated with high doses of atropine (0.25 mg per kg) and/or xylocaine spray using a bronchoscope, which suppressed mucus secretion and ciliary

Twenty-seven six-week-old cesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived pigs were inoculated intratracheally with an isolate of Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 (principles) of high virulence (I-200) or low virulence (B-8) or phosphate buffered saline (controls). Pigs given I-200 had severe

In this study, pathological, serological and virological examinations were performed on 15 sheep from a flock of 250 sheep and lambs that suffer from simultaneous naturally occurring BTV, PPRV and SPV outbreaks. SPV was diagnosed macroscopically and histopathologically, BTV was diagnosed by ELISA,

BACKGROUND In patients with pulmonary thromboembolism it is crucial to suspect the disease, establish the diagnosis and initiate anticoagulation treatment as early as possible in order to prevent relapses, which may be fatal. Deep venous thrombosis of lower extremities is the most common site of

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was detected and localized in 15 pigs with naturally occurring pleuropneumonia using a 437-base pair digoxigenin-labeled cDNA probe in an in situ hybridization protocol. Histopathologic changes in the acute stage were characterized by coagulative necrosis of lung parenchyma,

Nine-week-old pigs were inoculated intranasally with 6.10 X 10(3) (group 10(3)), 10(5) (group 10(5)) and 10(7) (group 10(7)) colony-forming unit of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) serotype 1 designated HA-337 strain, respectively. One pig in group 10(5) and 2 pigs in group 10(7) died with

The induction of pneumonic pasteurellosis in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) was examined. Specific pathogen free male guinea pigs were anesthetized and a tracheostomy performed to introduce 10(5), 10(4) or 10(3) Pasteurella haemolytica-A1 into the left principal bronchus. The surgical site was closed
