Lab 6 Flashcards
Can fibrin thrombi form in septal lymphatics?
yes, because lymphatics drain lymph and clogging them causes net accumulation of more fluid exudate
This is a slide from a bovine lung.What would the cellular exudate be composed of in this lesion?
macrophages, neutrophils, and necrotic alveolar epithelium
This is from a bovine lung. What is the histomorphologic diagnosis for this lesion?
acute fibrinopurulent bronchopneumonia
Why would this lesion be acute?
because the exudate is predominantly neutrophils and fibrin
Why would this lesion be diffuse?
because most of the section is affected
Why would this lesion be fibrinopurulent?
because of the nature of the exudate
Identify this structure:
neutrophils
Identify this structure:
fibrin
Identify this structure:
interlobular lymphatics with fibrin and hemorrhage
Identify this structure:
fibrin thrombi
Identify this structure:
neutrophils
Identify this structure:
fibrin
What are these cells and what does this imply about the duration?
neutrophils which suggests acute inflammation
There are bacterial colonies trapped and proliferating within the capillaries, are they post mortem or are they important in the pathogenesis of the lesions?
they are likely antemortem bacteria because they are surrounded by an inflammatory response
What would you term the process of bacteria entering in the blood?
bacteremia or septicemia
What is the difference between bacteremia and septicemia?
bacteremia can happen without having overt disease, septicemia implies that a severe clinical illness is present
What would the morphologic diagnosis for this lesion?
acute purulent glomerulonephritis with bacterial colonies
Identify this structure:
bacterial colonies
What is this an area of?
congestion
What is this?
fibinous thrombosis
This is from the heart of a calf, identify this structure:
bacterial septic emboli
What is occuring here?
periaortic hemorrhage
This is from the umbilicus of a cat, identify this structure:
artery wall
This is from the umbilicus of a calf, What is occuring here?
luminal thrombus
Identify this structure:
lines of Zahn
What is this?
fibrin
What is the pattern of distribution for this lesion?
focal
What is the pattern of distribution for this lesion?
multifocal
What is the pattern of distribution for this lesion?
locally extensive
What is the pattern of distribution for this lesion?
diffuse
What is the pattern of distribution for this lesion?
multifocal to coalescing
Describe this lesion:
multifocal areas of ecchymosis and ulceration throughout the small intestinal tract, erythemic large colon, mildly distended cecum
What are these?
multifocal areas of red to purple discoloration (hemorrhage) and ulceration of the intestinal mucosa
What are these?
purulent exudate; multifocal areas of the mucosa are covered by a tan to yellow, viscous fluid
What is the medical term used to describe inflammation in the small intestines?
enteritis
