Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Equine Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Ehrlichia risticii is an emerging cause of equine illness.
  • Colitis and associated symptoms can be severe in horses.

Observation:

  • A four-year-old Dutch Warmblooded mare presented with colic, anorexia, depression, ileus, severe dehydration, and leukopenia.
  • The mare collapsed and euthanasia was performed.

Findings:

  • Autopsy revealed acute colitis and intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies within macrophages.
  • Indirect immunofluorescence assay showed a serum Ehrlichia risticii titre of 1:640.

Implications:

  • This case highlights Ehrlichia risticii as a potential cause of acute colitis in horses.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment may be crucial for managing Ehrlichia risticii infections in equine patients.
