pleuropneumonia

The horse developed pleuropneumonia - a bacterial respiratory infection - after the race.

During the slaughter of cattle for pleuropneumonia careful examinations of the carcasses were made for tuberculosis.

Contagious pleuropneumonia is an acute contagious disease of horses manifesting itself either as a croupous pneumonia or a pleuropneumonia with complications in the form of serous infiltrations of the subcutaneous tissues and tendons.

Of these organisms the largest is that which produces pleuropneumonia in cattle, and this alone has been cultivated.

It is frequently met with in influenza, contagious pleuropneumonia, hog-cholera and rheumatism.
