A trial was conducted on a Thoroughbred stud to determine whether or not the administration of anti-Rhodococcus equi hyperimmune plasma would reduce the prevalence of R equi pneumonia (rattles) in foals born in the 1992 horse breeding season. Hyperimmune plasma was administered to 34 foals; another 57 foals were untreated. There was no significant difference in the number of transfused foals developing R equi pneumonia compared with the untreated foals. The time required for recovery from pneumonia between the 2 groups was not significantly different.
在一个纯种马繁育场进行了一项试验，以确定给予抗马红球菌超免疫血浆是否会降低1992年马匹繁育季节出生的幼驹患马红球菌肺炎（呼噜病）的患病率。给34匹幼驹注射了超免疫血浆；另外57匹幼驹未接受治疗。与未治疗的幼驹相比，接受输血的幼驹患马红球菌肺炎的数量没有显著差异。两组之间从肺炎中恢复所需的时间没有显著差异。
