Cytological changes of feather pulp lesions (FPL) sampled chronologically from the same specific-pathogen free chickens inoculated with Marek's disease virus serotype 1 (MDV) were examined, comparing with their histological changes. The birds having Marek's disease (MD) lymphomas or nerve lesions exhibited the characteristic lesion changes on the cytological smears of FPL; the initial non-suppurative inflammatory to the late lymphomatous FPL. The birds having neither the MD visceral lymphomas nor the nerve lesions manifested only non-suppurative inflammatory FPL on the cytological smears throughout the experimental periods. Histological evaluation of FPL sampled from the same birds confirmed as above mentioned cytological results. From these results, the cytological evaluation of FPL proved to be an effective diagnostic and prognostic tool in foreseeing MD incidence.

D008380 Marek Disease A transmissible viral disease of birds caused by avian herpesvirus 2 (HERPESVIRUS 2, GALLID) and other MARDIVIRUS. There is lymphoid cell infiltration or lymphomatous tumor formation in the peripheral nerves and gonads, but may also involve visceral organs, skin, muscle, and the eye.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
