title: [Comparative cytopathological and histopathological studies of sheep with suspected Coenurus cerebralis infection].
abstract: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) smears were compared with brain imprints and histopathological sections of sheep with suspected Coenurus cerebralis infection. There was an increase of eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, phagocytic and epithelial cells in CSF smears. Similarly, purulent eosinophilic or necrotic-granulomatous infections were observed in histopathologic sections. Cytological exfoliation was similar to histopathological details and it was concluded that CSF cytology is useful as a pre-method in diagnosis of Coenurus cerebralis infection.
