Pyelocystitis in sows, caused by Corynebacterium suis, presents with urinary tract inflammation, hematuria, and anemia. Early antibiotic treatment is effective in sows with healthy kidneys, but prevention methods are lacking.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Bacteriology
  • Animal Pathology

Context:

  • Pyelocystitis is an ascending urinary tract infection in sows.
  • Corynebacterium suis, transmitted during coitus by contaminated boars, is the causative agent.
  • The condition is characterized by severe inflammation and vascular lesions throughout the urinary tract.

Purpose:

  • To describe the etiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment of pyelocystitis in sows.
  • To highlight the diagnostic findings, including clinical, pathological, and bacteriological data.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic treatment and discuss prevention strategies.

Summary:

  • Pyelocystitis in sows is caused by Corynebacterium suis, leading to hematuria, anemia, and emaciation.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Diagnosis relies on clinical, pathological, and bacteriological findings, with distinct urine sample changes.
  • Successful treatment requires intact kidney function and early antibiotic administration (penicillin or ampicillin); prevention remains unproven.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive overview of a significant swine disease.
    • Informs veterinary diagnosis and treatment protocols for pyelocystitis.
    • Highlights the need for further research into prevention and control measures for Corynebacterium suis infections in swine.
