中文描述感染此疾病的馬匹會在自願的活動或突然的刺激下,促發下背部中軸肌群與後腿肌肉的僵直及痙攣。發病後,步態變得僵直,而且肌肉似乎會疼痛。神經反射是正常的,而且在馬匹躺下或休息時並不會持續出現僵直的狀況。患病馬匹的肌肉會增生肥大,而且在邁開第一步後動作會變得比較放鬆。此疾病與人類的僵體症候群類似,起因於體內的抗體攻擊谷氨酸脫羧酶所致。可以用類固醇治療得到暫時的緩解。
英文描述A horse developed stiffness and spasms of the axial muscles of the lower back and the muscles of the hind legs, usually precipitated by voluntary movement or sudden stimuli. There was a stiff gait, and the muscles seemed painful. Reflexes were normal, and stiffness did not persist when the horse was lying down to rest. There was muscle hypertrophy, and movements became more relaxed after the first steps. There were autoantibodes against glutamic acid decarboxylase and this condition was believed to resemble stiff-man syndrome of people. There was a temporary response to corticosteroid treatment.
