Organ Specific Inflammation Flashcards
5 ways infection can get into joint
Blood, adjacent bone, periarticular tissue, poor aseptic technique, direct inoculation via trauma
Airborne Agents
Bronchopneumonia
Cuffing pneumonia
Concentric rings on inflammatory cells around the airway resemble a shirt cuff
Haematogenous Agents
Interstitial pneumonia
Two Types of Pneumonia
Airborne Agents and Hematogenous Agents
Catarrhal Inflammation
Requires the presence of goblet cells, which are numerous in the intestine
Chronic enteritis
Results in malabsorption with progressive loss of fluid/protein
Johne’s Disease
Infection causing malabsorption. Lamina propria of intestines infiltrated by macrophages containing a mycobacteria
IBD
Lamina propria of the intestines is infiltrated by lymphocytes, plasma cells, eosinophils
Cirrhosis
End stage liver failure
Acute Pancreatitis
Associated with obesity or abdominal trauma
Chronic pancreatitis
Seen in cats, horses, and causing progressive fibrosis
Nephrotic Syndrome
Glomerulonephritis/amyloidosis may cause loss of substantial quantities of protein into urine
Inflammation of the Urinary Bladder
Cystitis
