Abstract

Ovine pseudotuberculosis or caseous lymphadenitis is an infectious disease caused by Corynebacteriumpseudotuberculosis that is widespread among sheep in our country. Bacteria entries through wounds in the skinand disseminates to superficial lymph nodes and, occasionally to internal organs and lymph nodes. Lesion ischaracterized by caseous necrosis. In this work, several cases of pseudotuberculosis associated with severeclinical signs, even death of animals, are presented. Symptoms were related either to compression caused bynecrotic foci, on several organs (oesophagus, intestine or spinal cord) or unusual locations (heart, intervertebraldisc or kidney). Cases of thrombi and renal amyloidosis, associated with this infection, were also registered.
