In a 17 1/2 weeks old pullet stock typhlohepatitis was diagnosed on the occasion of a stock examination by the poultry health service. Liver and gut of randomly selected pullets showed gross and histologic alterations as known in cases of typhlohepatitis in turkeys. Histomonads could be shown using both the PAS-reaction according to McManus and the silverstaining according to Grocott. In the following controls of the herd macroscopic visible alterations of the liver could not be seen, but some of the animals still exhibited gross lesions in the ceca. The course of the development of the herd from point-of-lay to the 9th month of laying period is described.
在一次由家禽健康服务机构进行的鸡群检查中，诊断出17.5周龄的小母鸡患有盲肠肝炎。随机挑选的小母鸡的肝脏和肠道出现了火鸡盲肠肝炎病例中常见的肉眼和组织学变化。使用麦克马纳斯的过碘酸雪夫反应（PAS反应）和格罗科特的银染色法都能显示组织滴虫。在随后对鸡群的监测中，肝脏未见肉眼可见的变化，但一些动物的盲肠仍有明显病变。描述了鸡群从开产到产蛋期第9个月的发展过程。
