STREPTOCOCCOSIS

Fig. 1. Valve thromboendocarditis.
Massive thrombotic masses (Tr) coating
the mitral valve in the left heart
side of a duck. It is generally associated
with Streptococcus zooepidemicus.
H/E, Bar = 40 µm.

Fig. 2. Streptococcosis, duck. A mixed
wall thrombus (Tr) partially occluding
the left atrioventricular opening.

Fig. 3. Myocardial infarction (I) as a
result of thromboemboly. Focal degenerative
necrobiotic lesions and
beginning of organization, appearance
of macrophages. H/E, Bar = 25
µm.

Fig. 4. Widespread anaemic infarct
(I) in the spleen of a duck. A peripherally
reactive marginal zone of
hyperaemia (h), necrotic heterophils
and early fibroblastosis (f). The lesion
is clearly delineated by the adjacent
healthy parenchyma and is generally
resulting from a portal venous thrombosis.
H/E, Bar = 100 µm.
