چکیده
Equine multisystemic eosinophilic epitheliotropic disease (EMEED) is a rare condition characterised by infiltration of multiple organs. The aim the present work was to describe two clinical cases that occurred in Italy, where no previous EMEED have been reported. A 2-year-old Standardbred colt referred for poor body condition, oral ulcerations, ventral and limb oedema, nasal discharge coughing. Relative eosinophilia, increased ALP, GGT, LDH hypoalbuminaemia were detected. Abdominal ultrasonography showed hepatomegaly hepatic biopsy revealed hepatitis. After euthanasia, post-mortem examination fibrosis intestinal wall, liver, pancreas mesenteric lymph nodes. second case 13-year-old pony hospitalised acute respiratory distress, discharge, cough dyspnoea. Leucocytosis with relative eosinophilia Thoracic disseminated comet tail artefacts. Endoscopy airways white nodules cavities nasopharynx; infiltrates. mediastinal nodes, lungs kidneys. Both patients presented which most common sign EMEED. They also distress nodules, not reported previously. In both cases, liver involvement observed. Post-mortem provided specific findings, such as lymphadenomegaly Although weight loss remains main EMEED, airway evaluation extremely useful diagnosis these cases.
