Cytology can be a rewarding diagnostic technique in equine practice. The respiratory tract readily lends itself to sampling for cytologic evaluation from the upper to lower regions of the system. This article discusses preservation and staining techniques that will allow the practitioner to present satisfactory samples to the laboratory. General considerations for cytologic analysis are discussed as well as the specific findings for individual disorders of the respiratory tract. The proper use of cytologic findings in conjunction with other diagnostic techniques for the respiratory tract are also discussed.
细胞学检查在马医学实践中是一种很有价值的诊断技术。呼吸道很容易进行采样，以便从该系统的上部到下部区域进行细胞学评估。本文讨论了保存和染色技术，这些技术将使从业者能够向实验室提供令人满意的样本。文中讨论了细胞学分析的一般注意事项以及呼吸道个别疾病的具体发现。还讨论了如何将细胞学检查结果与呼吸道的其他诊断技术结合正确使用。
