Sensitivity and specificity of clinical signs, thoracic auscultation, thoracic ultrasound and thoracic radiography in diagnosing respiratory disease in small ruminants

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Bronchopneumonia in small ruminants results from infection with viral and bacterial agents. Auscultation alone is often inadequate for diagnosis due to the difficulty in differentiating pathology from normal bronchovesicular sounds. The objectives of this study were to determine the sensitivity and specificity of auscultation, ultrasonography, and radiography to diagnose bronchopneumonia in small ruminants.
