[Clinical and experimental studies of suppurative surgical infection in cattle].
Investigated were a total of 30 cattle 6 of which had experimental surgery infection and 24 showed spontaneously developing suppurative infection. The animals were studied in terms of general status, blood picture, quality of urine and synovia, and rumen content. The dynamis was followed up of the development of sepsis and purulent artritis. It was found that in case of suppurative surgical infections in cattle the general status was invariably affected, the severity of the process depending on its localization and developmental phase. Changes were observed also in the eye fundus and in the urinary and the digestive system. There were anemia and leukopenia which alternated with leukocytosis, and transient changes in the values of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and the blood electrolytes. The SGOT values almost constantly increased, and the hemoculture was not positive in all cases.
