Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 7 to 8-year-old male African green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops) was found moribund in his cage. Fluid and antibiotic therapy were administered, but the monkey dies 2 hours later. At necropsy, large septic mural thrombi obstructed the right atrioventricular orifice and the pulmonary outflow tract, and smaller septic thrombi were attached to the leaflets of the pulmonary and mitral valves. Staphylococci were isolated from the large thrombus occluding the atrioventricular orifice. Large abscesses were present in the upper and lower lobes of the right lung, and small, wedge shaped infarcts were present in the lungs and kidneys. The clinical and pathologic findings were consistent with a rapidly progressive form of bacterial endocarditis. This was the only case of vegetative bacterial endocarditis seen at this instituion in 700 necropsies of nonhuman primates. |
