Inflammation of the Liver & Traids
Cholangiohepatitis
Viral Diseases that affect the Liver
Equine Herpesvirus 1, Canine Herpesvirus, Infectious canine hepatitis (ICH), Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), Rift Valley fever, Wesselsbron disease
Equine Herpesvirus 1 clinical signs
1)Icterus 2)Aborted or weak neonatal foal w/ severe hyperaemia of the mucosae & pulmonary congestion & oedema
Equine Herpesvirus 1 histo
Foci of necrosis with nuclear inclusion on the edges of necrotic foci in the liver, lungs, adrenal & thymus gland
Canine Herpesvirus aka
Fading puppy’
Canine Herpesvirus - gross, histo
Macro - Necrotic foci & haemorrhages on the liver, kidney, lungs, adrenals, spleen, brain & intestine. Micro - Nuclear inclusions (diag.)
Canine Herpesvirus residual lesions
Cerebellar hypoplasia, retinal & renal dysplasia
Canine Herpesvirus clinical signs
1)Infectious tracheobronchitis aka ‘kennel cough (+Bordetella brochiseptica +/- Adenovirus II) 2)Genital syndrome - infertility, abortion, stillbirths
Infectious Canine Hepatitis agent
Canine Adenovirus I
Infectious Canine Hepatitis lesions (ma)
Yellowish-brown to dark red and mottled liver +/- fibrin strands on the surface. Haemorrhages in and/or oedema of the gall bladder walls. Charac. ‘paint brush’ haemorrhages on serosal surface of stomach. Petechiae in the thalamus
Infectious Canine Hepatitislesions (mi)
Nuclear inclusions in hepatocytes, Kupffer cells and endothelial cells (of thalamus as well)
Infectious Canine Hepatitis sequelae
Blue Eye - the reason Adenovirus II is used in the vaccine
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) agent
FIP virus - Carona virus
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) lesion
Multifocal to coalescing granulomas w/ a layer of organising exudate on liver capsule
Bacterial Disease - how
Bacterial hepatitis common - usually multifocal & haematogenous 1)Spread from portal vein, hepatic artery, umbilical vein 2)Spread from biliary tree 3)Ext. of ‘hardware disease’
Bacterial Disease list
1)Campylobacter foetus subsp. foetus in aborted and neonatal lambs 2)Actinobacillus equuli in foals 3)Salmonella spp. 4)Mycobacterium spp. 5)Pasteurella multocida in aborted lambs 6)Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in ruminants 7)Listeria monocytogenes in aborted lamb
Liver Abscesses; species, pathogenesis
Cattle, usually asymptomatic. Heal by fibrosis. Rupturing > peritonitis, or into the hepatic vein or caudal vena cava > embolism to the lungs - PEA syndrome
Pulmonary Embolic Aneurysm (PEA)
Liver abscess > thrombosis of caudal vena cava > pulmonary embolism
Liver Necrobacillosis - agent, lesion
Fusobacterium necrophorum. Large multiple to coalescing foci of coagulative necrosis
