Abstract :
This communication reports the possibility of clinical diagnosis of caseous lymphadenitis in
sheep, using data obtained from clinical history, examination, haematological and biochemical
analysis, ultrasonography and, finally, isolation of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis
in affected ewe urine culture. To the author’s knowledge this is the first description of an
isolation of C. pseudotuberculosis in urine culture of a CLA affected animal and it could help
to detect subclinically affected animals.
