Lecture 3 Flashcards
What are some portals of injurious agent entry (4)
- Ingestion 2. Coughed up from the lungs and swallowed 3. Systemic blood borne 4. Parasitic migration
What are some portals of defence (4)
1, Stratified squamous epithelium 2. Normal flora 3. Taste buds 4. Saliva
What to look for during an oral exam
Colour and capillary refill time
What are pallor gums and what do they indicate
Pale gumes Anaemia, haemorrhage, ransack poisoning
What are Icterus gums and what do they indicate
Jaundice - accumulation of bile in blood Haemilytic disorders and liver disease
What are cyanosis gums and what do they indicate
Oxygen deficiency, methaemoglobinaemia
What are congestion and oedema gums and what do they indicate
Bluetongue virus sheep: buccal mucosa and tongue
What are Petechia/ecchymosis gums and what do they indicate
Septicaemia, inflammation, thrombocytopenia
What are some developmental disorders of the oral cavity
Palatoschisis (cleft palate) Cheiloschisis
What causes palatoschisis
Genetic or toxic origin
What is palatoschisis
Failure of fusion of lateral palatine arches
What does palatoschisis involve
Only soft palate or soft and hard palate
What is cheioschisis
Failure of fusion of upper lip along philtrum
Difference between erosions and ulcers
Erosion: superficial Ulcer: very deep
List the viral-induced vesicular stomatitis (4)
- FMDV 2. Vesicular stomatitis 3. Vesicular exanthema 4. Swine vesicular disease
What are the factors that contribute to great economic loss with vesicular stomatitis (4)
- Poor weight gain 2. Possible abortions associated with fever 3. Secondary bacterial infections 4. Exotic to Australia means export barriers
What do vesicular viruses cause
Epitheliotrophic lesions - these are fluid filled vesicles in the epithelium of oral cavity, lips, rostral plate, tongue
What are some signs of lesions (8)
- Oral and nasal vesicle and bullae 2. Oral epithelium detaches leaving raw, ulcerated surfaces 3. Ptyalism 4. Conjunctivitis 5. Lameness 6. Ulcerations on mammaries and genitalia 7. Fever 8. Anorexia
Best sample to take for vesicular stomatitis
Fluid from lesion
What are the viruses that cause erosive/ulcerative stomatitis (6)
- BVDV 2. Malignant Catarrhal Fever 3. Feline Calicivirus 4. Equine viral rhinotracheitis virus 5. BTV 6. Rinderpest
What are some other causes for erosive/ulcerative stomatitides (5)
- Uraemia 2. Foreign bodies 3. Caustic substances 4. Feline eosinophilc granuloma complex 5. Vit C deficiency
What viruses cause papular stomatitis
- Patapoxvirus 2. Contagious Ecthyma (these are both zoonotic)
What does poxvirus cause
Ballooning degeneration of epithelial cells and cytoplasmic viral inclusions
What does Orf cause
Eosinophilic cytoplasmic viral inclusions
What is necrotising stomatitdes called
Oral necrobacillosis
When do you see Oral necrobacillosis
At the end stage of other forms of stomatitis when complicated by infection with Fusobacterium necrophorum
What do you see with Oral necrobacillosis
Yellow/grey foci of necrosis surrounded by rim of hyperaemia
What are the signs of Oral necrobacillosis
Swollen cheeks, anorexia, pyrexia, halitosis
What animal is eosinophilic stomatitis seen it commonly
Cays
What is the histological appearance of eosinophilic stomatitis
Central collagenolysis and mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate
What is seen with lymphoplasmacytic gingivitis/stomatitis
Hyperplastic, ulcerated oral mucosa Red inflamed gums Foul breath Inappetence
What is gingival hyperplasia
- Overgrowth og gum tissue 2. Can bury gums 3. Common in boxers
What does Epulis mean
Benign growth of the gingiva
What are some oral neoplasms
- Squamous cell carcinoma 2. Melanomas (usually malignant) 3. Fibrosarcomas (malignant) 4. Papillomas
What does serosa help with
Healing
What is megaoesophagus also called
Oesophageal ectasia
What is primary tympany
Frothy bloat
What is secondary tympany
Free gas bloat
What are the underlying pathophysiology of bloat
Increased RR and HR - pushes on vena cava - decresed blood return to heart - so the heart rate increases- rumen pushes on diaphragm and causes increased HR
