serum troponin i as an indicator of myocarditis in lambs affected with foot and mouth disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
foot and mouth disease (fmd) is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hooved livestock and wildlife results to relatively high mortality in young animals. despite the numerous reports of fmd-related death in neonates, there is little data available on various aspects of fmd in lambs. this report describes myocarditis associated with fmd in five, one week to three months old lambs. the lambs were depressed and afebrile and two of lambs showed foamy salivation associated with shallow ulcers in oral cavity. electrocardiography (ecg) revealed sinus tachycardia, multifocal ventricular premature beats and ventricular fibrillation. serum biochemistry showed high levels of troponin i concentration and ck and ast activity. in pathology, there were multiple pale areas in the subepicardial and subendocardial muscles and; widespread degeneration and coagulative necrosis of myocardium. the serum troponin i assay and ecg can be used for diagnosis of myocarditis and prognosis of affected lambs during fmd outbreak.

متن کاملElectrocardiographic abnormalities and their association with some serum biomarkers in lambs with foot and mouth disease
Little attention has been paid to the aspects of cardiac injury-related foot and mouth disease (FMD) in young animals. So, this research was conducted to evaluate the serum biomarkers and electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence of myocardial injury in the infected lambs with FMD. During an outbreak, 33 lambs with FMD and 11 healthy lambs were randomly enrolled. After blood sampling, ECGs were taken...
متن کاملThe expressions of HSP70 and αB-crystallin in myocarditis associated with foot-and-mouth disease virus in lambs
This study describes the expression of heat shock protein70 (HSP70) and alpha-basic-crystallin (α-BC) and their association with apoptosis and some related adaptor proteins in the pathogenesis of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV)-induced myocarditis in lambs. HSP70 was generally overexpressed in the myocardial tissues and inflammatory cells of FMDV-induced myocarditis with differential accumu...
متن کاملSalivary troponin I as an indicator of myocardial infarction
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Accurate and rapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (MI) is of major clinical significance. The troponin is the biomarker of choice for detection of cardiac injury. The objective of this study was to identify salivary levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in patients with acute MI. METHODS Thirty patients with acute MI and 28 normal healthy individuals were inclu...
