The clinical picture of "pinkengriep", an enzootic form of bronchopneumonia in young cattle, is described. In addition to cough, conjunctivitis and a soporous state, accelerated respiration initially is an outstanding clinical symptom. In some cases, symptoms of fog fever appear during the second stage of the disease. In the autumn of 1973 and that of 1974, a total number of 292 animals with "pinkengriep" were serologically examined for known respiratory virus infections and Chlamydia. Complement fixation tests showed that there was significant increase in antibodies to respiratory syncytial virus in 76 per cent of the animals studied. In the case of para-influenza virus 3, virus diarrhoea virus, the adenoviruses of the antigen groups 1, 2 and 3, those of the antigen groups 4 to 10 inclusive and Chlamydia, these proportions were 48, 13, 12, 11 en 10 per cent respectively. On the other hand, symptoms of infection with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus were absent in the herds studied. These findings suggest a possible role of bovine respiratory syncytial virus in "pinkengriep".
本文描述了幼牛地方性支气管肺炎“粉红病”的临床症状。除咳嗽、结膜炎和嗜睡状态外,起初呼吸加快是突出的临床症状。在某些病例中,疾病的第二阶段会出现雾热症状。1973年秋季和1974年秋季,对总共292头患有“粉红病”的动物进行了已知呼吸道病毒感染和衣原体的血清学检查。补体结合试验表明,在76%的被研究动物中,呼吸道合胞病毒抗体显著增加。对于3型副流感病毒、病毒性腹泻病毒、抗原组1、2和3的腺病毒、抗原组4至10(含)的腺病毒以及衣原体,这些比例分别为48%、13%、12%、11%和10%。另一方面,在所研究的牛群中未出现传染性牛鼻气管炎病毒感染症状。这些发现表明牛呼吸道合胞病毒在“粉红病”中可能发挥作用。
