Topic: Pyemia


In the News (Sat 26 Dec 09)

  
  Tick Pyemia: Introduction - The Merck Veterinary Manual
The restriction of the disease to tick-infested areas, its occurrence during seasons of tick activity, and the demonstration of A phagocytophilum in blood smears of affected lambs or other sheep in the flock are diagnostic features.
The loss of condition and ill-thrift without lameness may be difficult to recognize as tick pyemia, and the acute condition can be confused with other septicemic diseases.
Tick pyemia may also resemble other suppurative infections of the newborn, including navel ill and joint ill due to infections by other bacteria such as streptococci and Arcanobacterium (Actinomyces) pyogenes.

 eMedicine - Pyogenic Hepatic Abscesses : Article Excerpt by: Mohamed Akoad, MD
With the liberal use of antibiotics for intra-abdominal infections, portal pyemia is now a less frequent cause of pyogenic liver abscesses but still accounts for 20% of cases.
However, any source of intra-abdominal abscess, like acute diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and perforated viscus, can lead to portal pyemia and hepatic abscesses.
This infectious process results from seeding of bacteria into the liver in cases of systemic bacteremia from bacterial endocarditis, urinary sepsis, or following intravenous drug abuse.

However, when emaciation, cloudy swelling of the parenchymatous tissue of organs or enlargement of the lymph nodes is associated with the infection, it is evident that the disease has progressed beyond the condition of localization to a state of toxemia, and the entire carcass shall therefore be condemned as both unwholesome and noxious.
Pyemia or septicemia may intervene as a complication of the local necrosis, and when present the carcass shall be condemned.

 Diseases in sheep in Ixodes ricinus infested pastures
The tick sucks blood from host animals, but the direct damage done by the blood sucking is relatively small in this country, even though some lambs can loose quite a lot of blood and become anaemic, if they are exposed to strong tick infestation.
In particular areas that have been investigated, 1/3 of the lambs that were put on tick infested pastures were lost, and this loss is mainly caused by tick-borne fever and complications related to this disease.
The main problem of the disease is, as mentioned earlier, that it leads to a debilitated immune defence system and thereby a risk of secondary infections such as blood poisonings (septicemia, pyemia) and inflammations in the joints (joint-ill).

 Thrombosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thoracic outlet syndrome (may precipitate arterial thrombosis as well as venous)
If a bacterial infection is present at the site of thrombosis, the thrombus may break down, spreading particles of infected material throughout the circulatory system (pyemia, septic embolus) and setting up metastatic abscesses wherever they come to rest.
Without an infection, the thrombus may become detached and enter circulation as an embolus, finally lodging in and completely obstructing a blood vessel (an infarction).
