Pulmonary nocardiosis in a fat-tailed sheep

Year 2013, Volume: 29 Issue: 4, 220 - 224, 01.12.2013

Abstract

Nocardia spp. are known as causes of bovine mastitis, pneumonia,
cutaneous or subcutaneous abscesses and disseminated
disease. Pulmonary infection by Nocardia spp. was
diagnosed in a sheep. Grossly, the animal had multiple white,
firm, and small nodules in the lung. Microscopically, the nodules
consisted of foci of pyogranulomatous inflammation
with the presence of macrophages, multinucleated (langhans-type)
giant cells and eosinophilic amorphous material
with rosette-shape configurations (Splendore-Hoeppli reaction).
Tissue samples of the lung were streaked onto bovine
blood agar, incubated at 37 o
C for 48-72 hours under aerobic
condition, and stained with Gram and modified Zeihl-Neelsen
staining. Bacteriological investigations confirmed numerous
thin, gram-positive, beaded, branching, filamentous and nonacid
fast organisms. Finally, on the basis of characteristic
gross, histopathological and bacteriological findings pulmonary
nocardiosis was diagnosed, and this is the first reported
case of pulmonary nocardiosis in a sheep in Iran.

Bir koyunda pulmonar nokardiozis

Year 2013, Volume: 29 Issue: 4, 220 - 224, 01.12.2013

Abstract

Nocardia spp. sığırlarda mastit, kutanöz ve subkutanöz apseler,
pneumoni ve yaygın hastalıklara neden olmaktadır. Bir
koyunda Nocardia spp.’ya bağlı pulmoner enfeksiyon belirlendi.
Makroskopide hasta akciğerinde çoklu beyaz, sabit, kü-
çük nödüller gözlendi. Mikroskopide makrofajlı poligranulomatöz
yangı odakları, çok çekirdekli (langhans-type) dev
hücreler ve rozet şeklinde eosinofilik (Splendor-Hoeppli reaction)
bölgeler gözlendi. Akciğer doku örnekleri sığır kanlı
agarda 37 o
C’de 48-72 saat aerobik şartlarda inkübe edildi.
Dokular Gram ve modifiye Zeihl-Neelsen ile boyandı. Bakteriyolojik
incelemede ince çok sayıda, gram-pozitif, boncuklu,
filamentli ve non-asit hızlı organizmalar olduğunu gözlendi.
Sonuçta bakteriyolojik, histopatalojik ve makroskobik bulgular
pulmonary nokardiozis olgusunu doğruladı ve bu vaka
İran’da koyunda gözlenen ilk pulmonar nokardiozis olgusudur.
