  • Title: Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in a thoroughbred foal.
    Author: Tanaka S, Kaji Y, Taniyama H, Matsukawa K, Ochiai K, Itakura C.
    Journal: J Vet Med Sci; 1994 Feb; 56(1):135-7. PubMed ID: 8204738.
    Abstract:
    Typical Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia was found in a male thoroughbred foal (46 days old) suffering from diarrhea and hypogammaglobulinemia after birth. The characteristics of the organisms were demonstrated by Grocott methenamine silver staining, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The present focal had no histological lesions suggesting immunodeficiency. However, he could not get adequate colostrum from his dam, because she died of hemorrhagic shock due to immuno-mediated thrombocytopenia at delivery. This condition was considered to have predisposed the foal to the pneumonia.
