ct-10127	Giguère, Steeve	Rhodococcus Equi Infections In Foals	2013	8	.pdf	application/pdf	4433	187	37	In a retrospective study of 150 foals with R. equi infections, 111 (74%) had at least one of 39 extrapulmonary disorders.6 Survival was significantly higher among foals without extrapulmonary disorders (32/39 [82%]) than among foals with extrapulmonary disorders (48/111 [43%]), but many such disorders were only recognized after death.6 Intestinal lesions are present in approximately 50% of foals with R. equi pneumonia presented for necropsy.7 However, the majority of foals with R. equi pneumonia do not show clinical signs of intestinal disease. The diagnosis of enterocolitis caused by R. equi is problematic because isolation of R. equi from feces cannot be taken as evidence of enterocolitis caused by R. equi.9 Hyperfibrinogenemia is the most consistent laboratory finding in foals with R. equi pneumonia, although rare cases may have normal fibrinogen concentrations.	cache/ct-10127.pdf	txt/ct-10127.txt
