26
Mycobacterium spp. - Pig
Miliary TB
27

30
Infectious Necrotic Hepatitis predispositions
Fasciola hepatica, Taenia hydatigena larvae, liver biopsy
31
Infectious Necrotic Hepatitis signs, lesions
1)Very dark skin discoloration 2)Single or multiple large necrotic foci surrounded by ring of hyperaemia
32
Bacillary Haemoglobinuria - agent, species
Clostridium haemolyticum toxin due to liver damage by Faciola hepatica or biopsy - Cattle (acute, fatal)
33
Tyzzer's Disease - agent, species, lesion

1)Toxoplasmosis 2)Ascaris suum 3)Taenis hydatigena
35
Toxoplasmosis agent, species
T.gondii. Cat - immunosuppressed
36
Ascaris suum pathogenesis
Larval migration > 'Milk Spot' liver
37
Taenia hydatigena larvae - aka, hosts
Cysticercus tenuicollis (. DH - Dog & other canids, IH - Sheep, cattle, goat
38
Echinococcus granulosus lesion
Multilocular larval cysts
39
Inflammation of unknown aetiology
1)Serum hepatitis in horses 2)Chronic active hepatitis in dogs 3)Cholangiohepatitis & icterus in mature cats
40
Inflammation of unknown aetiology - Serum hepatitis in horses
Centrilobular to submassive necrosis
41
Inflammation of unknown aetiology - Chronic active hepatitis in dogs
1)ICH, leptospirosis 2)Copper toxicosis - hereditary in Bedlington terriers, Dobermans and West Highland white terriers 3)Anticonvulsant drugs (primidone and phenytoin)
42
Chronic active hepatitis in dogs - Copper toxicosis lesions
Cirrhosis (multinodular hyperplasia and fibrosis with inflammation)
43
Toxic Hepatopathy aetiology
Liver essential in detoxification and excretion of xenobiotic. Liver often severely affected; other organs untouched
44
Toxic Hepatopathy pathogenesis
1) Biotransformation (metabolism of lipid soluble compounds by microsomal MFO enzymes, e.g. CCl4, plant toxins) - intermediate reactive radicals formed 2)Natural affinity (storage results in raised levels and toxicity, e.g. Cu) 3)Some compounds not metabolised, e.g. P
45
Toxic Hepatosis - Plants/Mycotoxins
1)Facial eczema 2)Panicum spp. 3)Lupinosis Myoporum spp. (ngaio) poisoning 4)Ragwort (Senecio) poisoning 5)Cestrum spp. (inkberry) poisoning 6)Blue-green algae 7)Pimelea spp. Poisoning 8)Lantana spp. 9)Aflatoxicosis
46
Toxic Hepatosis - Facial Eczema aka, causes
Sporidesmiotoxicosis via mycotoxin sporidesmin. Icterus & hepatogenous photosensitivity
47
Toxic Hepatosis - Facial Eczema liver effects
Acute - swollen, Chronic - left lobe atrophy, central/right lobe hyperplasia, fibrosis and bile duct hyperplasia
48
Other Causes of Hepatogenous Photosensitivity
1) Panicum spp. grasses 2)Phomopsison lupins 3)Cestrumspp. 4)Blue-green algae 5)Myoporum spp. (ngaio) 6)Lantana spp.
49
Toxic Hepatosis - Myoporum(Ngaio) Poisoning
Furanosesquiterpenoid oils metabolised by MFOs zonal necrosis
50
Toxic Hepatopathy - Chronic ragwort (Senecio spp.) Poisoning; aetiology, lesion (m&m)
The toxins are pyrrolizidine alkaloids - have antimitotic effect. Fibrosis and nodular hyperplasia. Note megalocytosis histologically.
51
Toxic Hepatosis - Organic/Inorganic
1)Copper poisoning - acute or chronic 2)Saccharated iron toxicity 3)Carbon tetrachloride 4)Phosphorus 5)Anticonvulsants 6)Steroids 7)Mebendazole 8)Paracetamol
52
Toxic Hepatosis - Copper Acute path
Acute haemolysis arises when plasma copper increases following Cu release from liver cells damaged by excessive storage of Cu
53
Toxic Hepatosis - Copper Acute lesion
1)'Gun-metal' grey-black kidney 2)Khaki coloured icterus
54
Toxic Hepatosis - Copper Chronic histo
Copper cells and megalocytes also seen in chronic ragwort poisoning
55
Liver Hyperplasia
1)Nodular 2)Cystic
56
Liver Nodular Hyperplasia lesion(m&m)
Macronodular hyperplasia - colour difference may be due to fatty change. Micromodular - evident microscopically
57
