title: Periparturient infection with bovine viral diarrhea virus type 1 causes hemorrhagic proctocolitis in a cow.
abstract: After 3 cows of a dairy herd had died from severe hemorrhagic diarrhea, a 4th sick cow was transported to the clinic. Blood analyses revealed the complete absence of white blood cells, the presence of a type 1b strain of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), and seroconversion to BVDV.
