Non‐purulent Arthritis in Danish Slaughter Pigs. I. A Study of Field Cases

Abstract: Summary The pathology and microbiology of non‐purulent arthritis in Danish slaughter pigs were studied in order to draw up an updated picture of the disease. Samples of one or more joints, their regional lymph nodes and the heart were collected from 101 arthritic pigs, totalling 137 joints, 86 lymph nodes and 96 hearts (group I). For another selected group including 25 pigs (group II), the preliminary diagnosis of mycoplasmic arthritis, based on the appearance of the corresponding regional lymph node, was asse… Show more

“…Infectious arthritis can lead to clinical signs of lameness, and Mycoplasma hyosynoviae, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae and Streptococcus spp. are most frequently isolated in affected animals (Friis et al, 1992;Hariharan et al, 1992;Buttenschon et al, 1995;Smith and Morgan, 1997;Nielsen et al, 2001). Osteochondrosis is a non-infectious degenerative condition of the cartilage and the bone, and osteochondrosis can cause lameness in finishers (Grøndalen, 1974;Nakano et al, 1987).…”

“…A média encontrada no presente estudo é muito superior à descrita por JOHNSTON et al (1987) que foi de seis mililitros. Nos casos infecciosos, a média foi de 6,5 mL, semelhante ao obtido por JOHNSTON et al (1987) (JOHNSTON et al, 1987;FRIIS et al, 1992;BUTTENSCHON et al, 1995). As artrites infecciosas sem isolamento teoricamente poderiam ser causadas por vários agentes infecciosos, dentre aqueles reconhecidos como causadores de artrite nos suínos.…”

“…Embora tenham sido utilizados métodos de isolamento muito sensíveis, capazes de promover o crescimento de bactérias presentes mesmo em pequeno número nas articulações, a freqüência de isolamentos positivos das artrites infecciosas foi baixa. Estes resultados concordam com os obtidos por outros autores (MORES et al, 1991;TURNER et al, 1991;BUTTENSCHON et al, 1995;NIELSEN, et al, 2002) e ratificam as afirmações de que estas artrites são crônicas, sendo que os agentes ALBERTON, G.C. et al infecciosos, na grande maioria das vezes, não estão mais presentes nas articulações (WOOD, 1992).…”
