  • Title: Spontaneous Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome in a gang-housed baboon.
    Author: Cary M, Kosanke S, White G.
    Journal: J Med Primatol; 2001 Jun; 30(3):185-7. PubMed ID: 11515675.
    Abstract:
    Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome can cause acute death in the baboon without specific signs. Furthermore, this syndrome could result from stress-related intestinal permeability changes that allow macromolecules and/or microbiological entities to enter the systemic circulation. The resulting sepsis could cause adrenocortical insufficiency, hypotension and shock leading to death.
