Risk factors for development of pleuropneumonia were determined by reviewing medical records of 45 horses with pleuropneumonia and 180 control horses examined between Jan 1, 1980 and Jan 1, 1990. Factors considered included age, breed, sex, occupation, transport farther than 500 miles within the previous week, racing within the previous 48 hours, viral respiratory tract infection or exposure to horses with viral respiratory tract disease within the previous 2 weeks, and vaccination against influenza or rhinopneumonitis within the previous 6 months. Results indicated that Thoroughbreds were at a greater risk of developing pleuropneumonia than were other horses, and Standardbreds were at a reduced risk. Transport farther than 500 miles and viral respiratory tract disease or exposure to horses with respiratory tract disease were determined to be risk factors for the development of pleuropneumonia.
通过查阅1980年1月1日至1990年1月1日期间接受检查的45匹患有胸膜肺炎的马和180匹对照马的病历，确定了胸膜肺炎发生的风险因素。考虑的因素包括年龄、品种、性别、职业、前一周内运输距离超过500英里、前48小时内参加比赛、前两周内发生病毒性呼吸道感染或接触患有病毒性呼吸道疾病的马，以及前6个月内接种流感或鼻肺炎疫苗。结果表明，纯种马比其他马患胸膜肺炎的风险更高，而标准bred马的风险则降低。运输距离超过500英里以及病毒性呼吸道疾病或接触患有呼吸道疾病的马被确定为胸膜肺炎发生的风险因素。
