Zusammenfassung: | Inclusion-body hepatitis was diagnosed in 1-day-old turkeys experiencing above-average mortality. At necropsy, turkeys appeared anemic and had pale yellow livers. Histopathologic examination of affected livers revealed diffuse hepatic degeneration and multifocal necrosis, with approximately 70% of the hepatocytes containing large, basophilic, intranuclear inclusion bodies. An adenovirus was isolated from affected livers and identified as a group I avian adenovirus by indirect immunofluorescence. /// Se diagnosticó hepatitis con cuerpos de inclusión en pavos de un día de edad que mostraban un aumento en la mortalidad. A la necropsia, los pavos estaban anémicos y tenían hígados amarillo pálido. El exámen histopatológico de los hígados afectados reveló una degeneración hepática difusa y necrosis multifocal con numerosas células que contenían grandes cuerpos de inclusión intranucleares, basofílicos. De los hígados afectados se aisló un adenovirus aviar identificado como perteneciente al grupo I. |
