A five days-old female thoroughbred foal suddenly died showing a severe depression of few hour duration. Post mortem examination revealed serohaemorrhagic effusion in body cavities, scattered petechial haemorrhages and microabscesses, embolic suppurative nephritis and thromboartheritis of Ductus Arteriosus. Actinobacillus equuli subsp. haemolyticus was cultured from all tissues and body fluids. Pathogenesis and prevention of sleepy foal disease are discussed.

A five days-old female thoroughbred foal suddenly died showing a severe depression of few hour duration. Post mortem examination revealed serohaemorrhagic effusion in body cavities, scattered petechial haemorrhages and microabscesses, embolic suppurative nephritis and thromboartheritis of Ductus Arteriosus. Actinobacillus equuli subsp. haemolyticus was cultured from all tissues and body fluids. Pathogenesis and prevention of sleepy foal disease are discussed.File in questo prodotto:
