Common infectious causes of respiratory disease in dogs include canine distemper virus (CDV) and canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2). 3 Pulmonary CAV-2 lesions are consistent with those of bronchointerstitial pneumonia, including the presence of necrosis and large basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies (IN/IBs) in bronchiolar and alveolar epithelial cells as well as pulmonary macrophages. 5,6 Therefore, pneumonic lung tissues were examined for CAV-2 antigen by immunochemistry and CAV-2 genes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the present study. 5 CAV-2 specific IC/IBs were identified in only three cases in the present study; however, seven cases were IHC positive for CAV-2 antigen detection. These results suggested that CAV-2 particles may fail to create detectable inclusions in some cases although viral antigens were present in the lung tissues. ./cache/cord-352894-88c46evj.txt ./txt/cord-352894-88c46evj.txt
