Respiratory System, Pt. 2 Flashcards
What are the 5 most common patterns of pneumonia?
- suppurative bronchopneumonia (CRANIOVENTRAL - bacteria)
- fibrinous bronchopneumonia (CRANIOVENTRAL - liver consistency)
- interstitial pneumonia (rib impressions - viruses)
- embolic pneumonia (firm nodules, multifocal, hemorrhagic)
- granulomatous pneumonia (pale firm nodules - Mycobacteria)
How does the route of infection cause differences in presentation of pneumonia?
AEROGENOUS = concentrations at bronchi
HEMATOGENOUS = random scattered nodules
Pneumonia patterns:
What causes infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR)?
BoHV-1
How do parainfluenza virus 3 and bovine respiratory syncytial virus affect the lungs? How do they affect calves?
cause transient rhinotracheitis and bronchointerstitial pneumonia with the formation of eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies in bronchial, bronchiolar, and alveolar epithelial cells, and aleolar macrophages + syncytial cells
necrotizing bronchiolitis
How is parainfluenza virus 3 and bovine respiratory syncytial virus infection confirmed?
- PCR
- detection of viral antigens by FAT or IHC
BRSV, cow:
- diffuse, interstitial (hard to recognize)
- no clear areas of consolidation
- large, rubbery, rib impressions
BRSV, calf and heifer histology:
- bronchiole with necrotic debris in lumen
- increased cellularity, syncytial cells, pink IC inclusions
BRSV, histology:
- virus damages interstitium and bronchioles
- syncytial cells have the same cytoplasm, with multiple nuclei
BRSV, IHC histology:
widespread injury to the airway epithelium
What 2 respiratory viruses cause bovine enzootic pneumonia? Opportunistic bacteria? How does it present?
Mycoplasmas and Chlamydophila
- Pasteurella multocida
- Trueperella pyogenes
- Histophilus somni
- Mannheimia haemolytica
CRANIOVENTRAL chronic suppurative bronchopneumonia
Chronic suppurative bronchopneumonia, calf:
- bovine enzootic pneumonia
- cranioventral consolidation and discoloration
What calves are highly susceptible to bronchopneumonia?
those with bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD), which prevents the migration of neutrophils from the capillaries
Bovine enzootic pneumonia, calf:
- consolidated
- chronic suppurative bronchopneumonia
Suppurative pneumonia, calf:
- enzootic bronchopneumonia
- increased neutrophils in the lumen
What are 2 common sequels of chronic suppurative pneumonia?
- cranioventral abscessation
- bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis:
common sequel to chronic suppurative pneumonia, where the bronchioles are full of exudate and dilate with the destruction of septa and replacement by connective tissue
What is shipping fever? What is the main etiology? How does it present?
acute respiratory disease that occurs in cattle several days or weeks after shipment or other stressful events —> most economically important respiratory disease of cattle in North America, especially feedlot cattle
Mannheimia haemolytica - pneumonic mannheimiosis/pasteurellosis
CRANIOVENTRAL fibrinous bronchopneumonia with fibrin attachment to pleura
Pneumonic mannheimiosis, steer:
- shipping fever
- Mannheimia haemolytica
- locally extensive consolidation and yellow discoloration
- fibrinous, necrotizing
What is the characteristic internal lesion of shipping fever? What is responsible for this lesion?
marbling appearance of pulmonary parenchyma - inflammation + necrosis + edema
Mannheimia haemolytica, biotype A, serotype 1 toxin causes vasculitis and necrosis
What kind of necrosis does Mannheimia haemolytica cause in shipping fever?
coagulative —> missing cellular detail, but organ structure remains
What is the etiology of respiratory histophilosis? What else can it cause?
Histophilus somni
- TME
- pneumonia
- pleuritis
- myocarditis
- arthritis
- abortion
How does respiratory histophilosis present grossly? What does it tend to look like? How can it be differentiated?
CRANIOVENTRAL suppurative or fibrinous bronchopneumonia
Mannheimia haemolytica infection (shipping fever) - histophilosis will have no marbling necrosis upon sectioning
How does Mycoplasma bovis pneumonia present grossly? What else does it commonly cause?
chronic necrotizing bronchopneumonia with cranioventral consolidation and nodular, confluent, multifocal to coalescing lesions
fibrinous arthritis
Mycoplasma bovis, pneumonia:
- CRANIOVENTRAL
- chronic necrotizing pneumonia
- nodular, look like abscesses
- doesn’t respond to normal therapy
- feedlot cattle!
Necrotizing bronchopneumonia, heifer:
- Mycoplasma bovis
- solid lesions that look like abscesses (not suppurative)
What kind of necrosis does Mycoplasma bovis cause?
caseous —> cannot recognize tissue at all
What causes bovine tuberculosis? What tends to cause outbreaks in North America?
Mycobacterium bovis
wildlife, like deer, elk, and bison (ruminants), are able to carry disease and come into contact with cows on the farm
How does gross presentation of bovine tuberculosis compare in cattle and wild cervids?
multifocal granulomatous pneumonia, including involvement of retropharyngeal, thoracic, and mesenteric LN
contain prominent suppurative exudate and may resemble abscesses
What is a common cause of verminous bronchitis/pneumonia in cattle? What are the 3 general gross presentations? What is the most common morphological diagnosis used?
Dictyocaulus viviparus
- larval migration = interstitial pneumonia
- intrabronchial adults = interstitial pneumonia
- eggs, dead larvae = granulomatous pneumonia
catarrhal (mucosuppurative) bronchitis
What are the common causes of verminous bronchitis/pneumonia in sheep/goats and equids?
SHEEP/GOATS = Dictyocaulus filaria
EQUIDS = Dictyocaulus arnfieldi
What is the most common cause of verminous bronchitis/pneumonia in pigs? How does it present grossly?
Metatrongylus spp.
lungworms admixed within turbid mucoid exudate - catarrhal bronchitis
Verminous bronchitis, pig:
- numerous thin and elongated worms = Metastrongylus spp.
- present in caudal (diaphragmatic) lung lobes
- catarrhal bronchitis
- pallor = pneumonia
Parasitic bronchitis, pig:
- Metastrongylus spp. in bronchus
- CAUDAL lung lobe
- catarrhal bronchitis
- verminous bronchitis
What are the 5 characteristics of atypical interstitial pneumonia (AIP) in cattle?
- edema
- interstitial emphysema
- hyaline membranes
- type II pneumocyte hyperplasia (replace type I pneumocytes upon injury and cause hepatization of lung)
- interstitial fibrosis with cellular infiltrates
Atypical interstitial pnuemonia, cow:
- diffuse alveolar damage with protein leakage mixing with surfactant and lipids causes the formation of eosinophilic hyaline membranes lining alveoli
- increased cellularity
What are 4 common syndromes considered atypical interstitial pneumonia?
- bovine pulmonary edema and emphysema (fog fever)
- extrinsic allergy alveolitis (hypersensitivity)
- reinfection syndrome - hypersensitivity to Dictyocaulus spp. or BRSV
- milk allergy - type I hypersensitivity in cows sensitized to their own milk casein and lactalbumin
How does the ingestion of moldy potatoes cause interstitial pneumonia?
contains 4-ipomeanol, which is metabolized by mixed function oxidases in the lung (club cells) to a potent pneumotoxicant
