Puerperal Metritis Complicated by Malaria

Diagnosis and treatment of acute puerperal metritis in dairy cows

Prevalence of Bacteremia in Dairy Cattle with Acute Puerperal Metritis

BACKGROUND Acute puerperal metritis (APM) affects 30% of postpartum dairy cattle. Bacteremia negatively impacts survival in cattle with coliform mastitis. However, the prevalence of bacteremia in dairy cattle with APM is unknown. HYPOTHESIS Bacteremia is detectable in a large proportion of cattle with APM. ANIMALS Seventeen dairy cows with APM and 17 healthy dairy cattle. METHODS Prospect...

Vivax malaria complicated by myocarditis.

Plasmodium infection (mainly p. falciparum) is usually complicated by cerebral malaria, haemolysis, acute kidney injury and respiratory distress. Myocardial involvement is a rare complication of plasmodium infection. We have reported a case of plasmodium infection (p. vivax) complicated by myocarditis.

Bacteriological and cytological findings during the late puerperal period after two different treatments of retained placenta followed by acute puerperal metritis

The aim of the study was to compare the effect of two acute puerperal metritis (APM) treatment protocols on uterine condition during the late puerperal period (5th to 7th week). Late gestation healthy cows (n = 21) were divided randomly in three equal groups. Parturitions were induced. Treatments of APM were started on the third day postpartum (PP). Group A was treated with an oxytocin analogue...

Abdominal Hysterectomy for Acute Puerperal Metritis and Acute Salpingitis, with Record of a Successful Case

The question of operative interference in puerperal infection is a very difficult one in many instances, and at the same time it is one of the highest importance. It is indeed comparatively seldom that one would be justified in performing hysterectomy in such cases, and yet there are occasions, as in the one I am about to record, where life can be saved by the procedure. Schultze, in 1886, laid...
