Table 3. Distribution patterns of 52 lungs with macroscopic lesions considered typical for enzootic pneumonia (“EP-like”, early and late types) and PCR results.
Early type | Late type a | |
---|---|---|
Multilobular | 13 (1) b | 3 |
Multilobular to coalescing; < 50% of each lobe affected | 9 (1) | 6 |
Multilobular to coalescing; 50% of at least one lobe affected | 3 | 12 (2) |
Multilobular to coalescing; > 50% of at least one lobe affected | 1 | 5 (1) |
PCR c positive/total | 18/26 | 20/26 |
a Late-type lesions were significantly associated with larger affected lung areas (multilobular coalescing, ≥ 50% of infected lobe), p-value = 0.0005.
b Numbers in brackets correspond to the specific subgroup of lungs which had exudate oozing from the airways.
c On bronchial swabs.
