Relationship between abortions and seroprevalences to selected infectious agents in dairy cows.

The aim of this study was to determine whether the occurrence of abortion is related to the seroprevalence of abortion-causing infectious agents. In a cross-sectional study, cattle from dairy farms in Switzerland that were defined as having an abortion problem were divided into two groups: cows with a history of abortion within the previous 3 months (cases) and cows without a history of abortion (controls). A positive titre to Leptospira spp. was associated with an increased probability of being a case (OR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.21-2.47). There were interactions between Coxiella burnetti titre and parity, and between Chlamydia psittaci and C. burnetti titre and breed. Multiparous cases after the second lactation with a positive titre to C. burnetti were less likely (OR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.22-0.82) to be cases. Swiss Browns (Swiss Braunvieh and Brown Swiss) with a positive titre to C. psittaci and Swiss Browns with a positive titre to C. burnetti were more likely (OR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.13-2.37 and OR = 1.79, 95% CI = 1.15-2.78, respectively) to be cases. Parity alone was not associated with the occurrence of abortion.

Vaginal application of a chemotherapeutic agent before legal abortion. A way of reducing infectious complication?

In an attempt to reduce the incidence of infectious complications after first trimester legal abortion 199 healthy, early pregnant women were treated with chloroquinaldol (SterosanR vaginal jelly) during six days before their vacuum aspiration. A group of 291 women served as control. In the treatment group 18 women (9%) had a postoperative gynecological infection while this condition was found in 37 women (12.8%) in the control group. This difference is not statistically significant. The authors conclude that preoperative prophylactic treatment with Sterosan vaginal jelly does not seem to reduce postoperative infectious complications after first trimester legal abortions.

[Several biochemical indices of the serum of cows with abortions of a non-infectious nature].

Studied were some biochemical indices of the blood serum of cows showing abortions of noninfectious etiology. It was found that in such cases thre was a statistically significant drop in the amount of the total lipids of the blood serum, which reached 20 per cent as against pregnant cows and 8.5 per cent as against cows that had already given birth. It is stated that the phospholipid blood serum fracitons of cows that have miscarried show a statistically dependable drop only in the case of lecithine. Cows that have miscarried also show a drop of albumin, gamma-globulins, and the coefficient albumin/globulin. In order to establish all disturbances in pregnancy on a preliminary basis it is suggested to use in clinical practices the indices total lipids, phospholipids, proteins, and the albumin/globulin coefficent.
