Samples of faeces and blood were obtained from 66 adult horses with diarrhoea. The results of routine bacteriological, parasitological, haematological and biochemical tests were correlated with the outcome of the cases. Twenty-two (33 per cent) of the horses died or were destroyed as a consequence of the diarrhoea. A diagnosis was reached in only 23 cases (35 per cent), and in nine of them only at post mortem examination. Salmonella typhimurium was isolated from five cases. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between the horses which survived and those which died in their packed cell volumes, white blood cell counts, neutrophil counts, serum albumin concentrations and alkaline phosphatase activities.
从66匹患腹泻的成年马身上采集了粪便和血液样本。常规细菌学、寄生虫学、血液学和生化检测结果与病例的转归相关。22匹马（33%）因腹泻死亡或被安乐死。仅23例（35%）做出了诊断，其中9例仅在尸检时才得以诊断。从5例中分离出鼠伤寒沙门氏菌。统计分析显示，存活马匹与死亡马匹在红细胞压积、白细胞计数、中性粒细胞计数、血清白蛋白浓度和碱性磷酸酶活性方面存在显著差异。
