Pathological observations on pigs with porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome in Croatia.

This paper describes porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS) involving fattening pigs in Croatia. In presented cases the typical signs of the syndrome, such as skin haemorrhagic focal necroses, fibrinous glomerulonephritis, lymphocytic depletion and histiocytic infiltration of the lymph nodes and spleen are described. Multinucleated syncytial cells were also found in all immunocompetent organs, including intestinal lymphocytic aggregates.
