Pathology of Caseous Lymphadenitis in Slaughtered Goats Associated Infection with Corynebacterium Pseudotuberculosis
Abstract:
Present study recorded pathomorphology of 10 cases (2.16%) infected with Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis in slaughtered goats that has caused suppurative bronchopneumonia accompanied by lymphadenitis. The lungs lesion was characterized by either formation of caseo-calcified nodules of multiple abscesses or fully lungs lobes replaced with cheesy greenish pus. The enlargement of mediastinal lymph node was recorded with greenish yellow inspissated pus giving the characteristic spherical onion-skin appearance. Histopathologically, the lung sections were characterized by a central caseo-necrotic core admixed bacterial colonies and infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells, lymphocytes, plasma cell and macrophages. The bacterial culture isolation was confirmed the bacteria as Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis.
