Acute pleuropneumonia caused by Mannheimia haemolytica RS24.4

-IBR RS18

-Histophilus pleuropneumone (somnus) N130

Confirm a suspicion?

 

 

 

The authorities must be alerted via the DSV which will take charge of the confirmation by official methods; A blood sample on heparin (green cap tube) taken during the febrile phase, sterile swabs are used to collect inflammatory serosities from the nasal cavities, but also other lesions (pharynx) for culture or a PCR test.

 

 

 

Prognosis and treatment

 

 

 

Antibiotic treatment can be effective on patients with little disease or at the start of the febrile phase:

-An oxytetracycline

- Or a florfenicol

- Or a potentiated sulfonylurea

-An anti-inflammatory treatment

The prevention strategy is provided and organized by the health authorities. In areas with the disease, prevention is based on vaccination
