<FlashCard questions="4">
|q1= What is the morphological diagnosis?
|a1= Multifocal follicular and feather pulp haemorrhage.
|l1=
|q2= What is the aetiological agent?
|a2= These haemorrhages, which can vary in severity, are typical of polyomavirus infection in young psittacines.
|l2=
|q3= What internal lesions would you expect?
|a3= Depending on the species of psittacine, there is hepatic enlargement and variable necrosis, and splenomegaly. Generalized serosal haemorrhages may be present and, in a few cases, intestinal necrosis and haemorrhage are noted.
|l3=
|q4= How can a definitive diagnosis be made?
|a4=
*Histologically, finding the characteristic lesions and inclusion bodies is diagnostic.
*Swabbing affected organs and submitting the swab for DNA probe testing is definitive, and, in cases with poorly developed lesions, may be the only way of making a positive diagnosis.
*Cloacal swabs may be assessed by PCR for the presence of polyomavirus.
