Erysipelas was diagnosed in two commercial breeder flocks of Coturnix quail and was characterized clinically by sudden mortality. At necropsy, lesions comprised generalized congestion, hemorrhages in the thigh and breast muscles, swelling of liver, spleen, and kidney, and dark red edematous lungs. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was cultured from visceral organs of affected birds. Medication with penicillin in the drinking water controlled the mortality. A possible source of infection was fish raised on the premises. Seven people at the quail processing plant developed localized inflammation of the fingers, which responded when antibiotic therapy for erysipeloid was initiated.
在两个商业养殖的鹌鹑种鸡群中诊断出丹毒，临床特征为突然死亡。尸检时，病变包括全身充血、大腿和胸肌出血、肝脏、脾脏和肾脏肿大以及暗红色水肿肺。从患病鸟类的内脏器官中培养出了猪丹毒杆菌。在饮用水中添加青霉素进行药物治疗控制了死亡率。一个可能的感染源是养殖场饲养的鱼。鹌鹑加工厂的七名工人手指出现局部炎症，在开始针对类丹毒进行抗生素治疗后症状有所缓解。
