K Yamasaki, and Y Fukushima

Interstitial pneumonia was observed in 12 male guinea pigs. Grossly, the lung showed clear white areas in the parenchyma. Histological changes in the lung consisted of interstitial pneumonia and formation of granulomas accompanied by bacterial clumps. It was thought that this disorder might have occurred as a bacterial infection.
