Canine proliferative and necrotizing tracheobronchitis, with intranuclear inclusion-body and hyaline membrane formation.

Abstract

Diffuse proliferative and necrotizing trachcobronchitis, intranuclear inclusions, and pulmonary hyaline membranes were found in a 1-year-old female dachshund which was killed because of severe respiratory disease. Histologically the lesions resemble those described in adenoviral infections in calves, pigs, and man but a specific cause was not determined.
