This study represents cases with spontaneous neuritis of peripheral nerves in electric eels. Two electric eels were presented with abnormal swimming behavior and loss of appetite. Electric eels had extensive histopathologic lesions in the splenic and cardiac nerves. The lesions were characterized by swelling of neuronal cells, central chromatolysis and marked inflammatory cell infiltration consisting mainly of lymphocytes around the affected nerves. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of spontaneous neuritis of peripheral nerves in electric eels.
本研究报告了电鳗自发性周围神经炎的病例。两条电鳗出现了异常游泳行为和食欲不振的症状。电鳗的脾神经和心脏神经有广泛的组织病理学损伤。这些损伤的特征是神经元细胞肿胀、中央性染色质溶解,以及在受影响神经周围主要由淋巴细胞组成的明显炎症细胞浸润。据我们所知,这是电鳗自发性周围神经炎的首例病例报告。
