Abstract

|
Pulmonary pyogranuloma due to aspergillosis was observed in a young Korean native goat raised in Korea. At necropsy, multiple cheese-like white nodules were detected throughout all lung lobes, with diffuse mild lung edema. Microscopically, pyogranulomatous lesions consisted of central necrotic debri and peripheral layers including inner layer of neutrophils and lymphocytes, and outer fibrosis layer. Giant cells were scattered between inner and outer layers in the periphery of this lesion. Some parts of pyogranulomatous lesions had necrosis in the peripheral lesions, resulting in spreading the Aspergillus into the adjacent alveoli. Aspergillus hyphae were detected in the central and peripheal areas of pyogranulomas by Periodic acid Schiff reaction. From these results, this case was diagnosed as pulmonary aspergillosis in a Korean native goat. This is the first report about pulmonary pyogranuloma due to aspergillosis in Korean native goat raised in Korea. Since over 60 species of Aspergillus cause diverse diseases into varied organs and tissues of many animals, further characterization of Aspergillus will need to perform using the isolates from the pulmonary pyogranulomas in the goats.
