Abstract

Typical Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia was found in a male thoroughbred foal (46 days old) suffering from diarrhea and hypogammaglobulinemia after birth. The characteristics of the organisms were demonstrated by Grocott methenamine silver staining, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The present focal had no histological lesions suggesting immunodeficiency. However, he could not get adequate colostrum from his dam, because she died of hemorrhagic shock due to immuno-mediated thrombocytopenia at delivery. This condition was considered to have predisposed the foal to the pneumonia.

摘要

在一匹46日龄的雄性纯种马驹中发现了典型的卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎，该马驹出生后患有腹泻和低丙种球蛋白血症。通过Grocott六胺银染色、扫描和透射电子显微镜观察证实了病原体的特征。目前的病灶没有提示免疫缺陷的组织学病变。然而，它无法从母马那里获得足够的初乳，因为母马在分娩时因免疫介导的血小板减少症死于失血性休克。这种情况被认为使马驹易患肺炎。
