Abstract / Description of output

One-hundred and forty-seven of 270 (54.4%) horses suffering from pulmonary disorders were given at least one reexamination including, clinical, bronchoscopic, pulmonary function and cytological examinations after treatment and a further 83 of these horses (30.7%) had their clinical progress assessed by verbal or written reports, These examinations and progress reports showed high levels of partial or total recovery for most pulmonary disease categories, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, infectious, S. zooepidemicus and undifferentiated pulmonary disease and lungworm infection groups but not for the miscellaneous pulmonary disease (40% of these cases died), idiopathic chronic hypoxaemic or exercise induced pulmonary haemorrhage groups.
