Abstract

Lower respiratory tract disease is one of the most common causes of economic loss in foals. There are several methods used for the diagnosis of this disease. Bronchoalveolar lavage is one of the most important technique for bacteriological and cytological examination. The aim of this study was to evaluate BAL samples' cytologic and bacteriologic examination of foals with lower respiratory tract disease. In the comparison of cytologic examination of BAL samples with bacterial agents and without bacterial agents statistical differences in the percentage of neutophils, macrophages (P<0.001) and lymphocytes (P<0.05) were defined. Also according to the bacteriologic examination results of the BAL samples in 20 foals following agents were mainly detected: Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (10), Staphylococcus aereus (7), Escherichia coli (3). Totally 25 aerobic/facultative gram (+) and gram (-) bacils were isolated. In conclusion, the BAL technic is useful for cytological and bacteriological examination in horses with lower respiratory tract diseases

Özet

Taylarda alt solunum sistemi hastalıkları at yetiştiriciliğinde ekonomik kayıpların başında gelmektedir. Bu hastalıkta etkenin kesin tanısı için kullanılan birçok yöntem bulunmaktadır. Bronkoalveolar lavaj, hem bakteriyel hem de sitolojik muayenenin yapılabilmesi açısından en önemli tekniklerden biridir. Bu çalışmada, alt solunum sistemi hastalığı olan taylarda BAL örneklerinin sitolojik ve bakteriyolojik muayene bulgularının değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. BAL örneklerinin sitolojik muayenelerine göre etken üreyen olgularda etken üremeyen olgulara göre nötrofil, makrofaj (P<0.001) ve lenfosit hücrelerinin (P<0.05) yüzde oranları arasında istatistiki olarak önem bulundu. Ayrıca alınan BAL sıvısından yapılan bakteriyolojik muayene sonucunda 20 tayda, Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (10), Staphylococcus aereus (7), Escherichia coli (3), etkenleri çoğunlukta olmak üzere toplamda 25 adet aerobik/fakültatik gram (+) kok ve gram (-) basil grubunda bakteri üremesi tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak, alt solunum yolları hastalıklarında, özellikle endoskopi eşliğinde yapılan BAL tekniğinin gerek sitolojik değerlendirme, gerekse bakteriyolojik muayene amacıyla uygulanmasının tanı ve tedavi protokolünün oluşturulması açısından büyük önem taşıdığı sonucuna varıldı
