Respiratory Flashcards
What is the pathogenesis for Swine Atrophic Rhinitis?
Primary rhinitis –> bacterial attachment and colonization –> cytotoxins injure osteoblasts to produce osteosperosis of turbinates –> atrophy
What is the pathogenesis for Swine Atrophic Rhinitis?
Primary rhinitis –> bacterial attachment and colonization –> cytotoxins injure osteoblasts to produce osteosperosis of turbinates –> atrophy
What are the two bacteria that act as the most common cause of swine atrophic rhinitis?
Bordetella bronchiseptica
Pasteurella multocida
What is possible sequelae to Swine Atrophic Rhinitis?
decreased growth
pneumonia
meningitis
What lesions are present with swine atrophic rhinitis?
Mucosal exudate
Turbinate asymmetry
Atrophy/hypoplasia
Septal deviation
What is Turkey coryza?
Bordetellosis
Lay name for upper respiratory disease in birds
What is the most likely cause for Turkey coryza and what are some clinical signs/lesions?
Bordetella avium
Tracheal collapse, rhinitis, conjunctivitis
What are some causes for Laryngeal hemiplagia/paralysis in the horse?
Idiopathic damage to recurrent laryngeal nerve (inflammation, toxin, physical)
What is the pathogenesis for Laryngeal hemiplagia/paralysis?
primary nerve damage –> neurogenic atrophy of cricoaryteniodeus dorsalis muscle –> decreased laryngeal dilation on inspiration –> obstruct airflow
What lesion is associated with Laryngeal hemiplagia/paralysis in race horses?
pale fibrous atrophied cricoarytenoideus dorsalis muscle
Most common on the left side.
What are causes for laryngeal edema? What lesion will be present?
Allergy
Drugs
Smoke
Physical
Thick, gelatinous mucosa
What are some mucosal masses that could cause airway obstruction?
Nasal granuloma Nasal polyp, cyst Nasal hematomas Nasal tumors Lymphoid hyperplasia Nasal amyloidosis
Name some nasal tumors.
Adenocarcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma Sarcoma -- less common Lymphosarcoma --> cats Endemic ethmoidal tumors --> sheep --> typical of retrovirus induced carcinomas
Name the causes for tracheal collapse
Congenital (pups)
Aquired (young adult)
** common in toy breed dogs **
Name some causes for upper airway obstruction
Laryngeal hemiplagia/paralysis Tracheal collapse Laryngeal edema Mucosal masses (granuloma, polyp, cyst, tumor) External compression
What are some causes of nasal granuloma?
Foreign body Fungi Allergic Parasitic Idiopathic
What are causes of lymphoid hyperplasia?
Chronic inflammation
Parasites
What would you expect a cat to have if there was upper airway obstruction or external compression? (Hint: 2 things)
Nasal polyp
Abscess
What are some common causes for upper respiratory external compression?
Neoplasma (thyroid, thymus, lymphoid)
Abscesses
Lymphadenopathy (mandibular LN, Tracheobronchial)
Thyroid hyperplasia (Goiter)
What are some circulatory disturbances of the URT?
Edema
Congestion/hyperemia
Hemorrhage – epistaxis
What are causes for congestion/hyperemia of the URT?
Acute inflammation (Rhinitis, Sinusitis, Pharyngitis, Laryngitis, Tracheitis)
What are the causes for epistaxis?
Trauma Tumor Inflammation Rupture of a blood vessel Gutter pouch mycosis EIPH
