          Abstract

          Actinobacilose é uma doença infecciosa, não contagiosa, geralmente crônica, caracterizada por reação inflamatória piogranulomatosa que ocorre em bovinos e, menos comumente, em ovinos, suínos e equinos. Tecidos moles de cabeça, pescoço e linfonodos regionais são afetados. Neste estudo foram compilados e avaliados 18 casos de bovinos dos livros de registro de janeiro de 1997 a maio de 2011 com diagnóstico de actinobacilose. As lesões foram caracterizadas histologicamente, avaliadas por técnicas de histoquímica e imuno-histoquímica. No exame histológico foram evidenciados piogranulomas típicos de actinobacilose contendo clavas eosinofílicas radiadas, circundadas por neutrófilos, macrófagos, linfócitos e abundante tecido conjuntivo fibroso. Todas as lesões apresentaram cocobacilos Gram negativos na coloração de Gram histológico. Abundantes macrófagos tiveram marcação positiva para CD68, especialmente células epitelioides e células gigantes multinucleadas. Foi observada marcação positiva para CD3 (Linfócitos T) em cerca de 1:3 das células do infiltrado inflamatório linfocitário, e marcação positiva para CD79αcy (Linfócitos B) em 2:3 dos linfócitos, indicando que estes correspondem à maioria dos linfócitos nas áreas inflamatórias das lesões de actinobacilose.

          Actinobacillosis is a not contagious infectious disease, usually chronic, and characterized by pyogranulomatous inflammatory reaction that occurs in cattle and is less common in sheep, pig, and horse. Soft tissues of head, mouth, and regional lymph nodes are affected. In this retrospective study, lesions suggestive of Actinobacillosis from 18 cases of anatomopathologic bovine samples were retrieved from the archives of Setor de Patologia Veterinária of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, from January 1997 to May 2011. The lesions were classified histologically, evaluated by histochemistry, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in order to standardize inflammatory infiltration. The most frequent histological findings were typical pyogranulomas of actinobacillosis contained radiating eosinophilic clubs surrounded by neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes and abundant fibrous connective tissue. Gram-negative coccobacillus bacteria were shown in all lesions by Gram stain. Abundant macrophages were immunopositive for CD68, especially epithelioid cells and multinucleated giant cells. In addition, a positive immunostaining for CD3 (T lymphocyte) was observed in proportion of 1:3 in lymphocyte inflammatory infiltration, while IHC for CD79αcy (B lymphocytes) was obtained in proportion of 2:3. These results indicated that B lymphocytes are the majority of lymphocyte in the inflammatory area.

              Immunohistochemical evaluation of surfactant proteins and lymphocyte phenotypes in the lungs of cattle with natural tuberculosis.

              E Beytut (2011)
              The aim of the present study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of pulmonary surfactant proteins (SP-A, SP-B, SP-C) and lymphocytic phenotypes in the lungs of 12 cattle with natural tuberculosis. Grossly, the disease-affected cattle revealed numerous granulomas in the lung lobes. Histopathological examination found multiple lung granulomas with typical cellular elements. Type II pneumocytes with adenomatous proliferation around the granulomas were strongly immunopositive for SP-A and SP-B compared to normal type II cells. Clara cells showed also cytoplasmic immunopositivity for these surfactant proteins. Positive immunolabelling for proSP-C was detected exclusively in the normal and proliferative type II pneumocytes, and the reaction was marked in the perinuclear area of the cells. CD3(+) T and CD79αcy(+) B lymphocytes were predominantly localized in the fibrotic capsule margin of advanced granulomas, in greater numbers than in the early granulomas. In conclusion, the study found that type II pneumocytes proliferated highly and surrounded the tuberculous granulomas in the lungs, that hyperplastic type II pneumocytes synthesized and secreted larger amounts of surfactant proteins than the normal type II cells, and that SP-A might have played an important role in host defence against the mycobacterial agents. Additionally, the presence of high numbers of CD3(+) T cells throughout the granulomas confirmed the dominance of a cellular immune response in cattle tuberculosis. Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
