Retrospective evaluation of 155 adult equids and 21 foals with tetanus from Western, Northern, and Central Europe (2000-2014). Part 2: Prognostic assessment.

Objective: To identify prognostic variables for adult equids and foals with tetanus.

Design: Multicenter retrospective study (2000-2014).

Setting: Twenty Western, Northern, and Central European university teaching hospitals and private referral centers.

Retrospective evaluation of 155 adult equids and 21 foals with tetanus in Western, Northern, and Central Europe (2000-2014). Part 1: Description of history and clinical evolution.

Objective: To describe clinical data of hospitalized adult equids and foals with tetanus.

Design: Multicenter retrospective study (2000-2014).

Setting: Twenty Western, Northern, and Central European university teaching hospitals and private referral centers.

Cytological and bacteriological evaluation of transendoscopic guttural pouch lavages in clinically healthy horses.

Thirty-eight guttural pouch lavages from 19 clinically healthy horses were collected transendoscopically. Cytological examination and bacteriological culture of the samples were carried out. All 38 lavages assessed for cytology contained less than five per cent neutrophils and could be termed as cytologically 'normal'.

Retrospective evaluation of blood culture isolates and sepsis survival rate in foals in the Czech Republic: 50 cases (2011-2013).

Objective: To identify the specific pathogens causing sepsis in hospitalized foals in the Czech Republic and identify important factors associated with their survival.

Design: A retrospective study from 2011 to 2013.

Setting: University veterinary teaching hospital.

Equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis (EMPF): Five case reports.

Equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis (EMPF), a progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease has been associated with gammaherpesviruses. This case series describes five horses with EMPF. Three of the horses (two in Hungary, one in the Czech Republic) were diagnosed with EMPF ante mortem.

Seroprevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in horses in the Czech Republic.

Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the aetiological agent of equine granulocytic anaplasmosis (EGA). The aim of this survey was to assess the prevalence of anti-A. phagocytophilum antibodies in the horse population of the Czech Republic (CZ) and to investigate possible links between seropositivity and the geographic origin, age, and/or sex of the tested horses.

Pathomorphological study on gastroduodenal ulceration in horses: localisation of lesions.

Gastroduodenal ulceration is a prevalent disease in foals and adult horses. Decreased performance as well as fatal complications relate to this syndrome. The objective of our study was to determine the prevalence of gastric ulceration in a mixed population of horses by postmortem examination and to evaluate a possible association between equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) and sex or age of the examined horses, to evaluate the localisation of lesions in the proximal part of the gastrointestinal tract and to determine the occurrence of gastric parasites.
