Bovine Neonatal Pancytopenia - an Emerging Disease in Europe - Clinical Signs, Haematology and Pathology

چکیده
An unexplained haemorrhagic disorder of young calves, Bovine Neonatal Pancytopaenia (BNP), has appeared in Europe since 2007. BNP affected 14 beef calves born between March 2009 and April 2010 in 210-cow Scottish beef herd; only one calf survived. During both calving seasons the cows appeared clinically well and calved normally, giving birth to apparently healthy calves of a good birth weight. The abortion rate was < 3% and neonatal mortality (excluding BNP cases) was 2%.

Suspected subclinical forms of BNP have been reported, suggesting that observed clinical cases may not represent the full extent of the disease. However to date there are no objective data available on the incidence of sub...

متن کاملBone Marrow and Karyotype Findings of Patients with Pancytopenia in Southern Iran
Background: Pancytopenia is a manifestation of a wide range of disorders. The main prognostic factor for predicting outcome and response to treatment is based on the underlying cause. To detect the root cause of this problem, depending on other accompanied signs or symptoms, the need for bone marrow examination and other advanced work ups is different at least at the practical level. This study...
