Worms In The Bronchial Tubes
Categories: SURGICAL OPERATIONS.Inflammation of the bronchial tubes is often caused by worms of the
strongylus species. Upon examination after death, the bronchial
passages are completely blocked-up by these hangers-on.
Symptoms.--A rough, staring coat; hide-bound; painful cough;
respiration hurried, etc.
Treatment.--But little can be done by way of treatment in this
disease. The administration of small doses of spirits of turpentine has,
in some instances, proved successful.
