A 6-year-old female goat was admitted with right-sided subauricular swelling and facial nerve paralysis. Mastitis developed subsequently. The subauricular swelling localized to a mass and was excised. Mycoplasma mycoides subsp mycoides was cultured from samples obtained from the mass and mammary gland. After clinical improvement, the goat was discharged to the owner with instructions to isolate the goat and to submit milk samples from the rest of the herd for microbial culturing. Mycoplasma spp can spread to other tissues from an initial site of infection. In goats with clinical signs similar to those of the goat of this report, samples should be obtained for microbial culture on Mycoplasma medium. Goats infected with Mycoplasma spp should be isolated or culled because of the risk of transmission to uninfected animals.
一只6岁的雌性山羊因右侧耳下肿胀和面部神经麻痹入院。随后发生了乳腺炎。耳下肿胀局限于一个肿块并被切除。从肿块和乳腺获取的样本中培养出了丝状支原体丝状亚种。临床症状改善后，这只山羊被交还给主人，并指示其隔离这只山羊，并提交畜群中其他山羊的乳汁样本进行微生物培养。支原体可从初始感染部位扩散到其他组织。对于具有与本报告中这只山羊相似临床症状的山羊，应采集样本在支原体培养基上进行微生物培养。感染支原体的山羊应予以隔离或扑杀，因为存在传播给未感染动物的风险。
