Two cases of Rhodococcus equi infection in foals are described, in which osteomyelitis was a feature. Because rhodococcal infection is usually low grade and chronic, and because the signs of early metaphysitis can be subtle, any articular or periarticular swelling in a foal from a farm with a history of rhodococcosis should be strongly suspected to be associated with R equi until proven otherwise.
本文描述了两例马驹感染马红球菌的病例,其中骨髓炎是一个特征。由于马红球菌感染通常程度较轻且为慢性,并且早期干骺端炎的症状可能不明显,所以对于来自有马红球菌病病史农场的马驹,任何关节或关节周围肿胀都应高度怀疑与马红球菌有关,除非有其他证明。
