Malignant catarrhal fever was diagnosed in 3 herds of American bison (Bison bison) in South Dakota from 1973 to 1976. Clinical signs included depression, nasal and ocular discharge, conjunctivitis and keratitis, and diarrhea. Herd morbidity ranged from 3 to 53.8%, and mortality was 100%. At necropsy, ulcerative lesions were found throughout the alimentary tract, trachea, and bronchi. Microscopically, necrotizing vasculitis without thrombosis was found in virtually every organ examined.

Myopathy resembling nutritional muscular dystrophy occurred in a colony of 150 guinea pigs. Of 54 animals affected, 27 died. Major clinical signs were depression, conjunctivitis, and reluctance to move. Lesions were widespread throughout skeletal and cardiac musculature. Clinical signs and deaths ceased when the diet was changed to a different commercial ration. A single intramuscular injection of sodium selenite and alphatocopherol brought prompt remission of clinical signs in one group of 20 so treated.

From June 1986 to November 1989, 7 patients (pts.) with transitional bladder cancer were treated with CDDP 70 mg/m2 i.v. on day 1 and MTX 40 mg/m2 i.v. on days 8 and 15. The initial stage was T2 N0 M0 (2), T2 N0 M0 (8), T4 N0 M0 (4) and T3-4 N+ M0 (3). The median age was 56 years. After a median number of two cycles (1-5) of CDDP-MTX, 3/17 pts. (17.6%) had a complete remission (CM), 9/17 pts. (53%) a partial response (PR) greater than 50%, 4/17 pts. (23.4%) a PR less than 50%, 1/17 pts. (6%) a stable disease. Nausea and vomiting occurred in almost all pts., 20% of pts. had grade 3 stomatitis, 35% of pts. had diarrhoea, 20% of pts. had conjunctivitis, 7% of pts. had a bone marrow depression and hair loss. One patient had severe renal and liver toxicity and grade 4 bone marrow suppression with sepsis, completely controlled after intensive care. The treatment after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was: radical cystectomy (11)- in one following radiotherapy -; partial resection + lymphoadenectomy (2); TUR (4) in 1 pt. with lymphoadenectomy. After a median follow-up of 28 months (6-36), 12/17, equivalent to 71% of pts. are disease free, 3/17 (17%) are alive with disease, 2/17 (12%) died. In conclusion the association of neoadjuvant CDDP-MTX can induce a high percentage of response, and can preserve bladder function in some patients. Further controlled trials and a longer follow-up are needed to better define the exact role of this combination in terms of disease free survival, total survival and quality of life.

Of 467 cat serums tested for antibody to feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) 120 (26%) were positive. The average age of positive cats was 7.5 years (range 1 to 16 years), and 67% were male. Of 110 serums collected in 1980, 27 (24.5%) were positive. A wide variety of clinical signs including oral cavity disease, anorexia, weight loss, lethargy, depression, fever, respiratory and urinary tract disease, conjunctivitis, abscesses, anaemia and lymphadenopathy were observed in the cats with serum antibody. There was often a history of chronic disease or recurrence of particular or various clinical signs in these cats. FIV was isolated from 4 of 8 FIV antibody positive cats by cocultivation of patient lymphocytes with donor lymphocytes in the presence of interleukin 2.

Between September 1979 and May 1982, 50 of 177 swamp buffaloes became sick and died 83 to 719 days (mean 271) after being transferred to a research facility and housed in quarters adjacent to where sheep and goats were kept. The major clinical signs were anorexia, fever, conjunctivitis, scleral hyperaemia, ocular discharge, hyperaemia of skin, enlargement of lymph nodes and depression. Postmortem and histopathological lesions were observed in most of the tissues and organs of the body. A vasculitis with adventitial mononuclear cell infiltration and lymphoreticular reactions suggested a relationship to malignant catarrhal fever. The occurrence of serofibrinous epicarditis and myocarditis, which was seen in buffaloes in all cases, has not been a common finding in ruminants with malignant catarrhal fever.

The pulmonary and nonpulmonary effects of cement dust exposure in 52 randomly selected, directly exposed cement workers and 24 maintenance workers were investigated. Compared with the nonindustrially exposed population, both subgroups had significantly (P less than 0.001) lower lung function. The lung function of the exposed subjects was probably influenced by the level of physical activity and the level of dust exposure. The more directly exposed cement packers had significantly (P less than 0.05) lower lung function than the less exposed cement loaders. There was no significant difference in the lung function of the directly exposed groups and the maintenance group, but the physically more active cement loaders showed higher lung function values than the maintenance workers. The lung function of the cement workers also decreased with the duration of employment. Cement dust produced significant (P less than 0.001) workshift depression in the lung function of the subjects. The symptoms presented by the subjects were cough and phlegm production, skin irritation, chest tightness, conjunctivitis, catarrh, stomachache, and boils. The prevalence of stomachache among the subjects becomes significant in the light of a finding by other workers of hepatic granuloma in cement workers. The measured dust level in the cement depot was 30.81 mg/m3.

A young Black woman with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) developed an aseptic meningitis after receiving ibuprofen. The meningeal reaction, reported infrequently in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and only once previously in MCTD, was characterized by a predominantly polymorphonuclear cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis and depression of CSF glucose. Reversible renal insufficiency also occurred. Features suggestive of a hypersensitivity reaction included pruritus, conjunctivitis, facial oedema, desquamation of the palms and soles, and subsequent near total alopecia. Meningeal signs responded rapidly to systemic corticosteroid therapy. Patients with MCTD as well as those with SLE may be at peculiar risk of developing this uncommon reaction to ibuprofen.

A disease with clinical signs and histological lesions similar to malignant catarrhal fever in cattle was transmitted from Rusa deer (Cervus timorensis) to rabbits. This was accomplished on 3 separate occasions, and the disease was serially passaged in rabbits up to 11 times. The clinical signs in affected rabbits were pyrexia, depression, anorexia, mucopurulent conjunctivitis, nasal discharge and diarrhoea. These signs were seen in 27 of 38 inoculated rabbits with the mean incubation period being 12 days (range 8 to 20 days). Histologically, affected rabbits exhibited mononuclear perivascular cuffing and vasculitis in the brain, heart, liver and kidney. Lymph nodes and spleen showed destruction and loss of mature lymphocytes and lymphoid follicles and an increased number of large lymphoblastoid cells. These clinical signs and lesions were not detected in control rabbits. The disease was not transmitted to cattle, sheep, guinea pigs or mice, nor was an agent isolated in cattle, deer or rabbit tissue cultures, or in chicken embryos.

Infection with rickettsiae of the spotted fever group was clinically and serologically diagnosed in four dogs from two households on Long Island. In two dogs, clinical signs included high fever (to 40.5 C), abdominal pain, lethargy, depression, anorexia, and nystagmus. One of these dogs had conjunctivitis and petechial hemorrhages in the oral mucous membranes. The third dog initially had high fever, evidence of abdominal pain, anorexia, and depression. The fourth dog appeared clinically normal. Clinical signs disappeared following treatment with tetracycline given orally.

Equine viral arteritis was diagnosed for the first time in the United Kingdom in 1993. The outbreak began on a non-thoroughbred stud in south Nottinghamshire and spread to five other premises through chilled semen used for artificial insemination and from acutely and subclinically infected mares returning home. The outbreak was contained on these six premises by means of voluntary movement restrictions. The most commonly observed clinical signs were typical: pyrexia with depression, and conjunctivitis with periorbital oedema; nasal discharge, and oedema of the distal limbs, prepuce and mammary glands were less common. The first mare to be covered by a recently imported stallion was the first animal to be affected. The mare was resident and no new mares had arrived on the stud during the previous five months. About 100 animals became infected during the outbreak, including three indigenous stallions. Equine arteritis virus was isolated from semen and heparinised blood samples and seroconversions were demonstrated by using the equine arteritis virus neutralisation test. Although the outbreak was contained, the free movement of animals within the European Union increases the possibility of infected stallions being introduced into the UK.
