Adapted Hudson and Turner Score:
Serological response (CFT) to challenge
 < 10 Score 0
 10 Score 1
 20–80 Score 2
 = or > 160 Score 3
Clinical response to challenge
 Pyrexia at least (≥) 39.5 °C for > 3 but < 7 days Score 1
 Pyrexia for ≥7 days Score 2
 Animal died/euthanased Score 3
Post-mortem findings
 Chronic lesions (sequestra) Score 1
 Acute/subacute (marbling etc.) Score 2
Mmm isolated or detected Score 2
Multiply the sum by a factor depending on lesion size:
 < 5 cm Score 1
 ≥ 5 cm but < 20 cm Score 2
 ≥20 Score 3
Thus, maximum possible score is 18:
 Serology = maximum possible score is 3
 Clinical = maximum possible score is 3
 PM = (2 + 2) 3 = 12
