*Glasser's disease
**Septicaemia
**Acute inflammation affecting pleua, peritoneum, mediastinum, pericardium, joints and meninges
**Causes a polyserositis - pericarditis, [[Peritonitis|peritonitis]], pleurisy and meningitis - in pigs 3-10 weeks old
**Also causes suppurative [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Glasser's disease|bronchopneumonia, pleuritis]], [[Joints Inflammatory - Pathology#In Pigs|polyarthritis]] (also ''H. suis)
**Expressed lesions vary between animals - meningitis is most consistent, arthritis in 20% of cases
**Fever, general malaise, repsiratory and abdominal signs, lameness, paralysis or convulsions
**Sporadic outbreaks in the UK
**Morbidity and mortality often low due to widespread acquired resistance
**Mortality up to 50% in some outbreaks e.g. specific pathogen-free herds
**Can be fatal in 2-5 days
**Chronic arthritis, meningitis and intestinal obstruction due to adhesions in some surviving pigs
**Due to transport, environmental stresses, dietary and managemental factors
*Fibrinous pneumonia secondary to enzootic pneumonia or virus infection e.g. swine influenza
