| 中文描述 | 由於在穀類食入生物鹼感染伴隨麥角真菌.藉由辨識生物體和毒素來診斷.病狀從溫和到嚴重變化不等.非疼痛漸進性壞疽可見於麥角中毒,通常末期惡化,主要是後肢,尾巴和耳朵.一些學者懷疑牛麥角中毒會在毛皮改變喪失而導致流產.有過熱,呼吸窘迫和生產喪失,在澳洲放牧牛群有被餵食受到麥角真菌污染的飼料的報導,並且這症候群被實驗地產生.藉由移除飲食毒素來源來治療.預後依賴損傷的嚴重性判斷. |
| 英文描述 | Due to ingestion of alkaloids in grains infected with CLAVICEPS PURPUREA. Dx by identification of organism and toxin. Signs can vary from mild to severe. Non-painful progressive gangrene seen with ergotism is usually worst in the extremities, particularly the hind limbs, tail and ears. Some authors suspect that ergotism of cattle can cause abortion in the absence of skin changes. There are reports of hyperthermia, respiratory distress and loss of production in herds of cattle in Australia being fed feed contaminated with CLAVICEPS PURPUREA, and this syndrome was produced experimentally. Treat by removal of the source of the toxin in the diet. Prognosis depends on the severity of the lesions. |
