Immunological experimental arthritis in pigs. III. Inflammatory reactions in the brain of pigs immunized with the attenuated virus of Aujeszky's disease.

Histopathological brains and spinal cords of pigs were examined at different times of immunization with the virus of Aujeszky's disease (AD). Temporary inflammatory reaction was found to have the features of non-suppurative disseminated inflammation in the second week after the second virus dose had been given. Perivascular and subependymal lymphocytic infiltrations were observed and the focal multiplication of microglia.
