“…Furthermore, foals that received HIP had significantly lower weekly and cumulative ultrasonographic scores and abnormal ultrasonographic scores were present for a shorter period of time in HIP foals, indicating a less severe form of pneumonia. Similarly, the increase in WBC and fibrinogen, an expected non-specific response to bacterial infection (Leclere and others 2011, Venner and others 2012), was significantly less pronounced in the HIP group. Moreover, an increase in platelets, also a non-specific response to bacterial infection (Tafazzoli and others 2006), was only seen in control foals.…”

“…This was not entirely unexpected as these parameters are not good predictors of outcome (Leclere and others 2011). Nevertheless, fever (>39C°) only occurred in control foals.…”

“…In the case of R. equi pneumonia in foals, veterinary clinicians will typically rely on diagnostic imaging methods, bacterial culture, and cytological analysis of tracheobronchial aspirates as methods of empirical diagnosis (Bertone, 1998;Leclere et al, 2009).…”

“…Em alguns animais, as alterações sanguíneas são muito sutis e, devido a isso, o uso de técnicas complementares de diagnóstico é de grande valia. A ultrassonografia ou a radiografia torácica podem revelar anormalidades no parênquima pulmonar e a presença de abscessos (MUSCATELLO et al, 2007;LECLERE et al, 2009).…”

“…Da mesma maneira, o isolamento não deve ser usado como único método diagnóstico, já que os animais podem ser apenas portadores da bactéria e, segundo MUSCATELLO et al (2007), a bactéria pode ser isolada em aproximadamente um em três animais saudáveis de uma fazenda endêmica. Outra desvantagem desse método está no fato de que animais com severo desconforto respiratório podem não tolerar a coleta de fluido (LECLERE et al, 2009). As colônias obtidas após a cultura em ágar sangue ovino são lisas, mucóides, não hemolíticas e, após períodos prolongados de incubação, as colônias mostram pigmento salmão.…”
