AbstractA severe overwhelming coccal infection of the lung curtain of an adult dromedary camel led to pneumonia after the lung’s defense mechanisms collapsed. This structure is not seen in common domestic animals and very little has been written about this curtain. Some scientists referred to them as “fringes” or “extensions”, little is known about these enigmatic structures. Present report describes herewith a severe haemorrhagic and lymphoblastic coccal infection of the lung curtain, leading to pneumonia.
Wernery et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
