A Retrospective Study of 108 Foals With Septic Osteomyelitis: 1995–2001
نویسندگان
چکیده
With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, the prognosis for the survival of foals with septic osteomyelitis is favorable. Age at recognition, multisystem disease involvement, and multiple bone or joint involvement are important prognostic indicators; however, the location of lesions also seems to influence the prognosis.

Uveitis and polysynovitis have been reported in foals naturally infected with R. equi and are thought to be the result of an immune-mediated process. However, the pathogenesis of these conditions is po...
