The clinical signs of ephemeral fever are not sufficiently characteristic for a diagnosis to be made in individual animals. However a diagnosis can be made by considering epidemiological, clinical and pathological findings in association with specific laboratory techniques. In southern Africa, a wide variety of other infectious and non-infectious diseases could be confused with ephemeral fever, especially botulism, diplodiosis, acute bovine pulmonary oedema, emphysema and hypocalcaemic conditions. The differential diagnosis of these diseases is discussed.
