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.
