Resource summary
Granulomatous Disease
Classifications
With/ Without Granulomas
All Granulomas are part of Granulomatous inflammation
Not all granulomatous inflammatory lesions have granulomas
Granuloma = Focal/ multifocal
Granulomatous = Thickened/ Turgid
Cells Present
1) Granulomatous
Macrophages
Multinucleated giant cells (Macrophages), Lymphocytes, Fibroblasts
2) Eosinophilic Granulomatous
Macrophages + Eosinophils
Cats & horses
Ex. Feline Eosinophilic granuloma complex
3) Pyogranulomatous
Macrophages + Neutrophils
Ex. Actinobacillus ligieresii, Actinomyces bovis
Aetiology
Bacteria
Actinobacillus lignieresii
Actinomyces bovis
Live in Macrophages:
Mycobacteria
M. tuberculosis complex
M. boivs
Cattle, other animals
Spread by coughing & sneezing
Survive in respiratory tract macrophages
< 10% of infected animals develop clinical disease
Zoonotic
Pathology
Gross
Well circumscribed, often encapsulated, pale yellow to white foci, often with Caseous Necrosis &/or mineralization
Most often respiratory tract lymph nodes are affected
Can have lesion in lungs
Can have systemic disease
Granulomas all over body
Histologically
Central area of Caseous Necrosis
Classical Granulomas
Acid fast bacteria w/in internal macrophages & giant cells
(Cats) M. lepraemurium
Cutaneous nodular lesions
Refractory to normal Abx
Granulomatous dermatitis with Acid fast organisms
M. avium complex (MAC)
M. a paratuberculosis
Johne's disease
Cattle, sheep, goats, deer
Animals infected when young
Contaminated feces
Bacteria lives in macrophages for years: subclinical
Causes diarrhaoea & weight loss when older
Pathology
Grossly
Thickened & corrugated small intestine
Can be yellow in Sheep
Terminal ileum is most often affected
Iliocecal junction
Enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes
Histologically (Sheep)
Multibacillary
Macrophages & Giant cells
Many Intracellular acid fast bacteria
Paucibacillary
Lymphocytes & Plasma cells w/ Macrophages
Very few acid fast bacteria
Rare in Cattle
Both types have the same clinical signs, gross lesions & outcome
M.a. avium
Avian mycobacteriosis
Granulomas in liver, intestines & other organs
Pathogenesis
Intracellular survival aided by specialized cell wall
Stop the lysosome from fusing
Capsular polysaccharide, complex free lipids
Mycolic Acids
Arabinogalactan
Peptidoglycan
Rhodoccocus
Brucella
Salmonella
Stop phagolysosome fusing
Inhibit lysosome enzymes
Capsule resistant to lysosomal enzymes
Parasites
Lungworm
Cat: Aelurostrongylus abstrusus
Sheep: Muellerius capillaris
Cattle: Dictyocaulus Viviparus
Dog: Angiostrongylus vasorum
Fungi
Aspergillus sp.
Opportunistic
Immunocompromised animals
Viral infection of gut
Antibiotic therapy
Granulomas & Pyogranulomas
Systemic Mycoses
Coccidioides immitis
Inhalation
Granulomas & Pyogranulomatous
Foreign Material
Most foreign material will induce a granulomatous response
Difficult/ Impossible for Macrophages to breakdown foreign material
Suture Material
Silica
Hair shafts ( Furunculosis)
Sperm granuloma
Viruses
Only 2 Viruses
FIPV (Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus)
Coronavirus
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP)
Lives in macrophages
Vasculitis
Wet & Dry forms of disease
Wet
Abdominal distension
Dyspnea due to thoracic effusion
Dry
Most often involves the eyes & CNS
Areas of inflammation on Retina
Kidney, Liver, lymph nodes
Infected Macrophages accumulate around small blood vessels
Deposition of immune complexes & Activation of Complement
Macrophages release proinflammatory cytokines which promote leakage of blood vessels
Damage to Blood vessels
FECV => FIPV
Clinical Signs
Malaise, fluctating fever, inappetance, weight loss
Closely related to FECV - Harmless
PCV-2 ( Porcine circovirus 2)
Circovirus
PCVAD (PCV -2 Associated Disease)
Systemic Disease
PMWS (Post weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome)
Respiratory, Enteric, Reproductive Disease
Porcine Dermatitis and Nephropathy Syndrome (PDNS)
Not all infected pigs develop disease
Granulomatous Inflammation
Lymph nodes
Lungs
Intestines
Liver
Other tissues
Granulomatous lymphadenitis
Toxins
Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa) - Legume
Causes necrosis & granulomatous inflammation in many organs (Heart, Kidney, Liver)
Idiopathic
GME (Granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis of Dogs)
Histiocytic ulcerative colitis
Dogs: Sebaceous adenitis
Feline eosinophilic granuloma complex
Consists of 3 diseases
Feline Eosinophilic Granuloma
More common in young cats
Nodular or linear lesions on skin, footpad, mucotaneous junctions & oral cavity
Raised, pink, alopecic
Histology: Eosinophils & Macrophages
Eosinophilic plaque
Raised, red, alopecic to ulcerated, flat topped plaques on the skin
VERY Pruritic
Eosinophils, Lymphocytes & Macrophages
Indolent Ulcer
Ulcerated lesion on upper lip adjacent to the philtrum
Pain & pruritis are rare
Unilateral or Bilateral
Histologically: Eosinophils, Neutrophils, Mast cells & Macrophages
Young to middle aged small dog breeds
Causes neurological disease
Can affect spinal cord, brain meninges
Gross Lesions
Few (maybe some discoloration)
Histologically
Inflammation & Necrosis of the white matter
Macrophages, Lymphocytes, Plasma cells
