Epidemiology of Rhodococcus equi Foal Pneumonia
The epidemiology of Rhodococcus equi foal pneumonia is changing and remains ill-defined. Few foal-specific or farm-specific factors have been correlated with occurrence of this disease. The density of mares and foals and the airborne concentration of virulent isolates of R. equi are associated with the disease, but a causal relationship has not been established for either factor.

متن کاملEquid herpesvirus 1 and rhodococcus equi coinfection in a foal with bronchointerstitial pneumonia
A 2-month-old foal with septic shock and severe respiratory distress was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Due to poor prognosis, the foal was euthanized.

متن کاملEmergence of rifampin-resistant Rhodococcus equi in an infected foal.
To investigate the emergence of rifampin resistance in Rhodococcus equi strains isolated from foals and their environment in Japan, we compared the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibilities to rifampin of 640 isolates from 64 infected foals and 98 soil isolates from their horse-breeding farms. As a control, 39 human isolates from patients with and without AIDS were also tested for susceptibility ...
متن کاملRhodococcus equi Foal Pneumonia: Failure of Serologic Tests to Accurately Detect Disease

Authors’ addresses: College of Veterinary Medicine, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843 (Martens, Cohen, Chaffin); Kitasato University, Towada, Aomori ...

obstruction. Because ofthe irregular rhythm, the redundant (and unresected) anterior mitral valve leaflet may be in a more open position at the time of ventricular systole, predisposingto an enhanced Venturi effect and hence greater obstruction. Since drug therapy, heart rate, blood pressure, body position (at the time of echocardiogram), and volume status were similar at the time of both studi...
