Atelectasis

Where:

Possible causes: Enzootic Pneumonia (EP)Influenza

The cranioventral distribution of the reddish and collapsed areas of pulmonary parenchyma (atelectasis) is very suggestive of swine influenza virus infection. In some cases, secondary bacterial bronchopneumonia may obscure the macroscopic lesions of influenza. The differential diagnosis for this lesion is Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection (enzootic pneumonia).
