A hundred and sixty-three cases of caseous pneumonia were analyzed in Samara. Males aged 35 to 60 years were most frequently ill with the pneumonia; the unemployed and those who had not undergone CC-fluorography for more than 2 years were more frequently ill. The lesion was more commonly bilateral, involving 3 lobes or more with multiple lung tissue destruction. Primary drug resistance was identified in 30.8% of cases. The classical onset of caseous pneumonia with well-defined clinical picture was observed in 75.5% of cases. The average time of diagnosis establishment was I month. One-year death was 34.6%. Progression into chronic forms creates a reservoir of tuberculous infection.

Ovine progressive pneumonia and caprine arthritis encephalitis together are referred to as small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs). Along with caseous lymphadenitis (CL), SRLV are 2 of the so-called "iceberg diseases" of sheep and goats. In the case of SRLV, healthy tissue can be replaced with unproductive lymphoid tissue causing loss of milk, poor growth in lambs, swollen and painful joints, and shortened productive lives of infected animals.

Caseous lymphadenitis is a chronic debilitating disease typical of small ruminants, but it is also noted in several other domestic and wild species. In this report, we present the first documented case in Italy of pseudotuberculosis in a roe deer (, Linnaeus 1758) found dead in the mountains of Forlì-Cesena province, Emilia Romagna region. The carcass underwent necropsy according to standard protocols, revealing generalized lymphadenopathy and severe apostematous pneumonia with multifocal and encapsulated abscesses.

Introduction: We report the first case of genetically confirmed chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) in a Kenyan child.
Clinical Findings: A 7-month-old male infant, the only child of non-consanguineous parents, presented with cough, fever, fast breathing, oral thrush, and axillary lymphadenopathy ipsilateral to the Calmette-Guérin bacillus scar. He had been hospitalized 5 weeks prior for severe pneumonia.

Background: Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus is an extremely rare variant of mitral annulus calcification occurring in <1% of cases. The degeneration of caseous masses could act as a source of embolic strokes and a nidus for infective endocarditis (IE).
Case Summary: A man in his sixties presented with transient left arm weakness.
Pathogenic infection characteristics and risk factors for bovine respiratory disease complex based on the detection of lung pathogens in dead cattle in Northeast China.

Bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) involves multiple pathogens, shows diverse lung lesions, and is a major concern in calves. Pathogens from 160 lung samples of dead cattle from 81 cattle farms in Northeast China from 2016 to 2021 were collected to characterize the molecular epidemiology and risk factors of BRDC and to assess the major pathogens involved in bovine suppurative or caseous necrotizing pneumonia. The BRDC was diagnosed by autopsy, pathogen isolation, PCR, or reverse transcription-PCR detection, and gene sequencing.
