Insufficient reports are available on what clinical and pathological conditions are observed in rescued free-living wild birds. This study investigated recent diagnoses of admitted wild birds based on admission causes in a southwestern area of South Korea over the past 2 years. A retrospective study was conducted on 1464 birds rescued from 2019 to February 2021. Overall, 12 admission subcategories were classified, and the diagnoses identified for each cause were analyzed. The three most frequently observed categories, general, integumentary, and musculoskeletal, each accounted for 20% of the total diagnoses. Trauma accounted for 71.4% of all diagnoses, and 81.5% featured inflammatory conditions, primarily due to trauma or infection. The proportion of birds that presented inflammatory conditions was much greater than the proportion of birds that were admitted due to trauma-related causes. This was because inflammatory diseases were identified at a high frequency, even from nontraumatic admission causes, and inflammatory conditions were not easily revealed. Suspecting an inflammatory condition in most rescued birds is advisable.
关于获救的自由生活野生鸟类会出现哪些临床和病理状况的报告不足。本研究基于韩国西南部地区过去两年野生鸟类的入院原因，调查了近期入院野生鸟类的诊断情况。对2019年至2021年2月期间获救的1464只鸟类进行了回顾性研究。总体而言，共分类了12个入院亚类，并对每种原因所确定的诊断进行了分析。观察到的最常见的三个类别，即一般类别、皮肤类别和肌肉骨骼类别，各占总诊断的20%。创伤占所有诊断的71.4%，81.5%具有炎症性病症，主要是由于创伤或感染。出现炎症性病症的鸟类比例远高于因创伤相关原因入院的鸟类比例。这是因为即使从非创伤性入院原因中也能高频识别出炎症性疾病，而且炎症性病症不易显现。对于大多数获救鸟类怀疑存在炎症性病症是明智的。
