Descriptions and Diagnoses Flashcards
Catarrhal
Pattern of acute inflammation in which the tissue response consists of the secretion or accumulation of a thick gelatinous fluid containing abundant mucous and mucin from the mucous membrane
Describe the distribution

Locally extensive
Description
Describes what you see, precise word picture and not subjective
Cause

Poxvirus
Cause

Various bacteria
Suppurative
Pattern of acute inflammation in which the tissue response consists of the accumulation of fluid with a high concentration of plasma protein (specific gravity >1.02) and high numbers of leukocytes, predominately neutrophils
_____________________
Pus
Miliary
Type of multifocal where there are numerous pin-point foci
Black coloration can tell you?
Presence of melanin, fluke pigment, exogenous pigment (carbon), decomposition (hydrogen sulfide from digestion of blood by bacteria)
Disease name

Hardware Disease
A tissue that you can “spread with a knife” is likely due to?
Necrosis and exudate
Distribution
Way to state the pattern and extent of lesions present
Multifocal
Numerous similar lesions that can be of variable size
A well demarcated lesion tells you that the process that caused the lesion is
Gradually infiltrating into the normal tissue and is poorly contained
What can you tell about the route of spread of a locally extensive lesion?
Spread due to local introduction via penetrating wound or anatomic pathway
A well demarcated lesion represents a (different/same) tissue.
A well demarcated lesion represents a (different/same) tissue.
Green coloration can tell you what?
Presence of bile pigment, hemosiderin, eosinophils, algal or fungal infection.
What can you tell about the route of spread of a multifocal lesion?
Spread is embolic/hematogenous
EDx

Poxviral Dermatitis
How to record a description
“Clean Person” to take notes
Digital Images

Describe the distributio
Diffuse
Translucent coloration can tell you?
Presence of mucus or parasite cysts
Features of an EDx
Cause
Origin
Pathological Process
Red coloration can tell you what?
Presence of Hemorrhage (focal), congestion (diffuse and patchy)
MDx
“Interprets” the description and makes subjective conclusions
