  2. What cell type would you mainly see?
  3. Is this acute or chronic?
  4. What kind of agents usally cause this
A
  1. Purulent (suppurative)

30
Q

Where would purulent (suppurative) exudate usally occur in?

A
  • Focal abscess, or
  • Pus-filled
    • organ (pyometra)
    • structure (bronchiectasis)
    • cavity (pyothorax, hypopyon)
31
Q

  2. pyuria?
A
  1. Hypopyon is inflammatory cells (pus) in the anterior chamber of eye.
  2. pyuria- pus filled urine
32
Q
  1. What organ is this
  2. exudate?
  3. what would you see in this exudate?
A
  1. lung
  2. purulent (suppurative)
  3. see mostly neutrophils
33
Q
  1. What type of exudate would this be?
  2. What are you mostly seeing in the histological slides?
A
  1. Suppurative, bronchopneumonia
  2. neutrophils in alveolar spaces
34
Q

What type of distribution is common for bronchopneumonia in 4 legged animals?

A

Cranial ventral distribution

35
Q

Name what is happening in this image

A
  • Interpretation: Acute purulent arthritis or synovitis

Note the yellow/green cloudy fluid, this would be purulent exudate

36
Q
  1. What kind of exudate
  2. What would you call what you see in this image (name organ and process)
A
  1. Purulent (suppurative) exudate
  2. Meningitis

Note: Remember that exudates are a fluid, and fluids are always going to go ventral, as they are gravity dependent

So when you see meningitis in an animal that has been sternal, most of that exudate will be in the lower half of the brain and in the meninges

37
Q
  1. Give a MDx
  2. what is the circle highlighting? (hard to tell i think)
A
  1. Brain : meningitis, suppurative, focal, acute
  2. pituitary abscess
38
Q

this is a pig’s skull, i think, cut in half

  • Name what has happened here
A

Chronic purulent sinusitis

39
Q
  1. Because this is a sinus and cannot drain, what will happen to the pus that is seen here?
  2. What type of necrosis?
A
  1. Inspissated pus (has dried out)
  2. caseous necrosis
40
Q

If connective tissue or fascial planes is inflammed with purulent exudate what would you call it?

A

Cellulitis

41
Q
  1. Give a MDx
  2. This is an example of?
A
  1. Purulent periesophagitis, acute, focal or locally extensive
  2. example of Cellulitis

Note:

  • Horses with an esophageal rupture
  • Bad enough that the esophagus has ruptured (bad surgical sites, don’t heal well), but once you have food exiting the lumen of the esophagus and into the soft tissue surrounding it, now you have a developing cellulitis as well
  • Which will put further pressure on the esophagus
43
Q

What is this an example of?

A
  • Fibrinosuppurative pericarditis, epicarditis and pleuritis
    • More neutrophils here than in other examples
    • There is an increase in thickness, not as weblite as just fibrin
44

A
  • Fibrinosuppurative peritonitis
    • Rupture of GI tract, walled off by fibrin
    • Cattle are really good at making fibrin
