This report deals with the macroscopic and microscopic pathology of field cases of Rift Valley fever in 22 adult cattle, 8 calves and 8 aborted foetuses.

متن کاملSequential development of the liver lesions in new-born lambs infected with Rift Valley fever virus. I. Macroscopic and microscopic pathology.
Ten new-born lambs were necropsied at various intervals after artificial infection with Rift Valley fever virus for the study of the sequential development of the hepatic lesions. During the late stage of the disease, the livers were slightly to moderately swollen and mottled yellow, orange-brown and red. Greyish-white foci, approximately 0,25-0,5 mm in diameter, were also scattered throughout ...
متن کاملLiver deformation in Ahr-null mice: evidence for aberrant hepatic perfusion in early development.
Mice harboring mutations in the Ahr locus display a patent ductus venosus and smaller livers throughout life. We tested the hypothesis that these hepatic aberrations are secondary to a developmental defect in hepatovascular blood flow by performing a detailed analysis of hepatic development in wild-type and Ahr-/- mice. This study revealed necrotic lesions in the peripheries of Ahr-/- fetal liv...
متن کاملFrequent occurrence of hepatic lesions in boutonneuse fever.
Seven consecutive Sicilian patients with boutonneuse fever but without clinical symptoms of hepatic disease underwent hepatic biopsy and had similar hepatic lesions. Foci of hepatocellular necrosis were infiltrated with predominantly mononuclear leukocytes. No intact Rickettsia conorii were identified in the tissues by immunofluorescence. The apparent high frequency of viscerotropism in boutonn...
متن کاملPathophysiology of jaundice in amoebic liver abscess.
Jaundice in patients with amoebic liver abscess is a frequent occurrence. However, the pathophysiology of jaundice in these patients is not fully understood. Hepatic necrosis leads to damage to bile ducts as well as various vascular structures, which in turn leads to biliovascular fistula and jaundice. We studied the mechanism of jaundice in patients with amoebic liver abscess. We prospectively...
