摘要: Recurrent airway obstruction is a condition that affects some older horses maintained in confinement. Clinical signs range from exercise intolerance with occasional cough to dyspnea at rest. Bronchoalveolar lavage cytology characterized by neutrophilic leukocytosis (15%-85%) and recommended for making the diagnosis mild moderate disease. Environmental management combined periodic bronchodilator antiinflammatory corticosteroid therapy yields best prognosis disease remission.
