Macrolide drugs are the treatment of choice for Rhodococcus equi infections, despite severe side-effects temporary anhidrosis as a. To better understand the molecular biology leading to macrolide induced anhidrosis, we performed skin biopsies and Quantitative Intradermal Terbutaline Sweat Tests...

Objective - To estimate prevalence of and identify factors associated with anhidrosis in horses in Florida. Design - Cross-sectional study and case-control study. Animals - 4,620 horses on 500 farms. Procedures - A questionnaire was structured and mailed to farm owners or managers to obtain...

This case report describes the atypical histopathological findings in a horse with anhidrosis that presented for evaluation of suspected respiratory disease during autumn/winter in a temperate climate. Anhidrosis in this horse was associated with mononuclear infiltration of T lymphocytes around...

Horses with anhidrosis are defined by signs of impaired thermoregulation caused by sweating that is inadequate for the ambient conditions. Anhidrosis has been recognised since the early twentieth century; affected horses have been variably described as nonsweaters, drycoats, blowers or puffers. The ...

Equine Anhidrosis or non-sweating syndrome affects up to 20% of horses in Florida and leads to poor performance, reduced quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality from overheating. There is no specific conventional therapy which is consistently effective and moving affected horses to a...

The primary means of heat dissipation in horse results from the evaporation of sweat. Anhidrosis refers to a decreased ability or loss of ability to sweat in response to appropriate stimuli. This disease is fatal and causes poor performance, increased body temperature, collapse, convulsion and even ...

Background: Erythromycin (ERY) induces anhidrosis in foals. Azithromycin (AZI) and clarithromycin (CLA), often combined with rifampicin (RIF), are commonly used to treat Rhodococcus equi infections, but effects on sweating have not been investigated. Objective: To determine the effects of AZI, CLA...

A total of 290 horses were examined to determine the prevalence of Anhidrosis, find suitable therapy and to record effect of the condition on serum glucose level. The affected horses were divided in two groups i.e. group A received sodium chloride orally 80 grams for 3 days along with injection...

Problem statement: Malaysia imports horses from temperate countries to develop equine sports in the country. Several of these horses developed partial and complete anhidrosis. Approach: Normal, partial anhidrotic and anhidrotic horses were exercised to determine their sweating and physiological...
