    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2022-09-09) ALEM, Hionara Isys; NOVAIS, Maria Eduarda Lopes; PESSINATTI, Bárbara Dezotti
    Rhodococcus is a disease of worldwide distribution caused by Rhodococcus equi. It is responsible for high mortality rates and great economic losses, regardless of race, sex or breeding system. It leads to severe bronchopneumonia in foals under six months of age due to their immunological immaturity. Diagnosis and treatment are based on a multimodal approach seeking ultrasound evidence suggestive of pyogranulomas, ultrasound abscess scores, and laboratory findings, including plasma fibrinogen concentrations, blood biochemical tests, and platelet and leukocyte counts.
