| 中文描述 | 瀰漫性肺泡病及間質性肺病可造成漸進性的呼吸困難.通常有一個突然發生的呼吸症狀即超過2-7週的漸進性惡化.此種症候群可能有兩種類型,一種在小馬,典型的再6日齡至9月齡,而另一種成年型影響兩歲或兩歲以上的馬.X光片可看出整個肺部的間質密度增加.氣管沖洗液無細菌且僅有少數細胞,包括中性球,巨噬細胞,及主要的漿細胞.確診需要肺部生檢的組織學評估.原因不明.此症候群明顯的和慢性阻塞性肺病不同. |
| 英文描述 | Diffuse alveolar and interstitial disease causes progressive respiratory distress in horses. There is often a sudden onset of respiratory signs with progressive deterioration over 2-7 weeks. There might be 2 types of this syndrome; one in foals, typically 6 days to 9 months old, and an adult form affecting horses 2 years old and above. Radiography showed increased interstitial density throughout all lung parts. Transtracheal washes showed no bacteria and low cellularity, with neutrophils, macrophages, and plasma cells predominating. Definitive diagnosis requires histologic evaluation of a lung biopsy. The cause is unknown. This syndrome is morphologically distinct from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. |
