Y. enterocolitica (serotype 0:3, pYV+, biotype 4) infection of 20-day-old pigs challenged per os with a total dose of 5 x 10(10) CFU was studied. Clinical, paraclinical and morphological findings were examined in dynamics from 1st to 25th days post infection (p.i.). Augmentation of body temperature and erythrocyte sedimentation rate during the first days p.i. were established. The number of leucocytes, peritoneal (pMa) and alveolar (aMa) macrophages was increased significantly from 4th to 15th days p.i. Phagocytic activity of pMa and aMa examined in vitro was maximal on days 15 and 25 p.i. The enhanced phagocytic activity of macrophages was in correlation with the observed histological changes--purulent meningoencephalitis, necrotic tonsillitis, peribronchial lymphoid-leucocytic cell infiltration and catarrhal enteritis. Extensive colonization of internal organs was detected at necropsy till the end of trial. Analysis of the results shows that this orally caused infection runs slowly with dissemination and persistency of Y. enterocolitica 0:3 in the macroorganism, like a generalized infection.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008264	Macrophages	The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D010587	Phagocytosis	The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES).	Phagocytoses
D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D005500	Follow-Up Studies	Studies in which individuals or populations are followed to assess the outcome of exposures, procedures, or effects of a characteristic, e.g., occurrence of disease.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013552	Swine	Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
