A 6-year-old Quarter Horse gelding was presented for bilateral uveitis resulting in vision loss as well as icterus. Anaemia with autoagglutination was consistent with a presumptive immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia. Urinary PCR was positive for Leptospira spp. and microscopic agglutination test...

A 2-year-old Quarter Horse gelding presented for anaemia, icterus, depression and intermittent colic 2 weeks after routine castration. Bilateral septic funiculitis with Streptoccocus equi ssp. equi with secondary immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia were diagnosed. A blood transfusion was required to ...

A 7-year-old Quarter Horse mare was presented for severe left hindlimb oedema and nonweightbearing lameness that was progressive over approximately 48 h. The mare subsequently developed marked and worsening oedema, immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA), myositis and myocarditis. The marked...

Background: Information concerning clinical presentation, conditions associated with immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA) and thrombocytopenia (IMTP) and outcome in equids is lacking. Previous case reports suggest that immune-mediated disease and neoplasia are associated. Objectives:...

Previous studies have suggested an association between equine immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia and clostridial infections or neck abscesses. The purpose of this report was to describe and characterize the haematologic abnormalities in a horse with Clostridium-associated immune-mediated haemolytic ...

In this report, a ten-year-old gelding with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia associated with chronic fibrosing mediastinitis of unknown origin is described. The patient suffered from chronic weight loss and intermittent diarrhea for already several months. He was presented with severe anemia,...

The present study retrospectively analyzed the cases of anemia diagnosed in the Clinical Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Iasi, between September 2016 and March 2018. Of the 450 blood samples analyzed from patients clinically examined in our faculty, 104 (23.1%) were anemia...

Immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia is rare in the horse. This case report discusses the clinical presentation and treatment of this condition in an Arabian stallion following abdominal surgery for large colon volvulus. On Day 10 of hospitalization the stallion's PCV dropped by 10% whilst his total...

Objective - To describe the clinical presentation, case management, and outcome in 2 foals with Rhodococcus equi infection associated with presumptive severe immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. Series Summary - Two foals diagnosed with R. equi pneumonia on the basis of tracheal wash cultures,...

Immune-mediated skin diseases, with the exemption of hypersensitivity disorders, are relatively uncommon conditions. The immune system protects the body from external threats by distinguishing self from non-self and attacking foreign antigens. Immunosuppressive treatments are therefore used to...
