Aspergillosis and hydropsy syndrome in chicks: the correlation and some pathological viewpoints
1981
Ted Tesprateep
Incidence of hydropsy-chick affected flocks from 12 commercial broiler farms in Chon-Buri Chachoeng-Sae and Samutprakarn was recorded. The age of chicks affected with hydropsy syndrome ranged from two to six weeks. The mortality rate was low (5-25%) and reached the peak when chicks were about four weeks of age. In all studied flocks, there had been previously an attack of pulmonary aspergillosis during the first week of life. The hydropsy chicks, at necropsy, showed ascites, hydropericardium, cardias dilatation -hydropericardium, cardiac dilatation with prominent nodular thickening of A-V valves and severe lung edema. Microscopic sections of the lungs revealed diffuse foci of Aspergillus-granulomata.
