Abstract

Respiratory disorders in camels are very common and often cannot be easily identified in live animals until complicated. Thus, the only way to understand the pathology behind respiratory disorders and their prompt diagnosis is by examining lungs at slaughter. So, this study was designed to describe bronchiolitis obliterans in camel when reported as a case report. Bronchiolitis obliterans is a form of rare pulmonary disease. It happens when tiny airways in the lungs, called bronchioles, are scarred. This scarring makes it difficult for the air to flow and for the animals to breathe, causing the airways to narrow. Lung biopsy can be the best way to diagnosis bronchiolitis obliterans. Thus, during post-slaughter inspection of dromedary camels (Camelus dromedaries) slaughtered at the Draw Abattoir, Aswan, Egypt, one case of bronchiolitis obliterans in adult camel was reported. Histopathological features revealed intraluminal polyps of inflammatory granulated tissues that obstruct small airways. In addition, regions of emphysema were located in the neighboring alveoli and some of them were packed with exudate. Finally, it can be concluded that bronchiolitis obliterans occur in one humped camel.
