Mycobacterium sp. induces granulomatous inflammation in different animal species. Mycobacterium bovis and the Mycobacterium avium complex are important cattle and swine pathogens that can also infect humans, especially those immunosuppressed. Losses in production, commercial barriers and carcasses condemnations in slaughtering are related to this infection, which implies in large economic losses. It was carried out a study on bovine tuberculosis lesions and granulomatous lymphadenitis in pigs, diagnosed by the Setor de Patologia Veterinária from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (SPV-UFRGS), Brazil, between January 2007 and December 2011. Data concerning breed, sex, age and clinical history were retrieved from the files and analyzed. Histological features of the lesions in lymph nodes and lungs were evaluated in Hematoxylin-Eosin staining. Multinucleated giant cells were predominant in bovine tuberculosis lesions and epithelioid macrophages were abundant in swine. Ziehl-Neelsen and Masson’s trichrome techniques were used respectively to demonstrate the alcohol-acid resistant bacillus and fibrous connective tissue in the lesions. The immunohistochemistry technique was performed to characterize the lymphocytic infiltrate. Anti-CD3 antibodies were utilized to immunolabeling lymphocytes T; and anti-CD79αcy to lymphocytes B. Lymphocytes T were predominant in both species lesions; confirmed statistically by paired t test, which showed significantly differ means of T and B lymphocytes, with t=5,501 (p<0.001) for the bovines tuberculosis lesions, and t=5.826 (p<0.001), for the cases of pigs lymphadenitis. In addition, macrophages were immunolabeled by antibody anti-CD68 to bovine, and lysozyme to swine; and polyclonal anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis antibody were used successfully to detect Mycobacterium sp. in bovine and swine lesions, apart from in the swine samples there was also anti-Mycobacterium avium immunolabelling.

Mycobacterium sp. induz inflamação granulomatosa em diferentes espécies animais. Mycobacterium bovis e o complexo Mycobacterium avium são importantes patógenos de bovinos e suínos e podem causar infecção em humanos, principalmente imunossuprimidos. Perdas na produção, barreiras comerciais e prejuízos por condenação de carcaças em abatedouro/frigorífico estão atrelados à ocorrência dessas infecções, com prejuízos econômicos significativos. Foi realizado um estudo de casos diagnosticados como tuberculose em bovinos e linfadenite granulomatosa em suínos no Setor de Patologia Veterinária da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (SPV-UFRGS) no período de janeiro de 2007 a dezembro de 2011. Dados referentes à raça, ao sexo, à idade e ao histórico clínico foram compilados dos livros de registro e analisados. As características histológicas das lesões em linfonodos e pulmões foram avaliadas em Hematoxilina-Eosina, com predomínio de células gigantes nas lesões de tuberculose bovina e de macrófagos epitelioides em suínos. As técnicas histoquímicas de Ziehl-Neelsen e Tricrômico de Masson foram utilizadas para evidenciar, respectivamente, bacilos álcool-ácido resistentes e tecido conjuntivo fibroso nas lesões. A técnica de imuno-histoquímica foi utilizada em aproximadamente 30% dos casos estudados de cada espécie, selecionados aleatoriamente, para a caracterização do infiltrado linfocítico. Foram utilizados os anticorpos anti-CD3 para a marcação de linfócitos T e anti-CD79αcy para a marcação de linfócitos B. Linfócitos T predominaram nas lesões em ambas as espécies, com diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as médias dos linfócitos T e linfócitos B. Foi usado o teste t pareado, com t=5,501 (p<0,001) nas lesões dos bovinos e t=5,826 (p<0,001) para as lesões de linfadenite dos suínos. Adicionalmente foram marcados macrófagos com o uso do anticorpo anti-CD68 para bovinos e anti-Lisozima para suínos. Além desses, o anticorpo policlonal anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis foi utilizado para a detecção de bactérias do gênero Mycobacterium, com imunomarcação positiva em todos os casos e, nos casos dos suínos, houve marcação anti-Mycobacterium avium.

A study to evaluate the distribution of granulomatous lesions in the lymph nodes of swine carcasses was accomplished. The main objective was to compare the methods of isolation of mycobacteria of the Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC), Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining, histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the diagnosis of granulomatous lymphadenitis caused by MAC. A total of 431 samples of lymph nodes from 394 swine carcasses kept in 12 cold storage rooms of southern Brazil, which had the Service of Federal Inspection (SFI), were analyzed. Lymph nodes with granulomatous lesions were submitted to histological examination, ZN staining and IHC with monoclonal antibody produced with cellular extract of M. avium. The agreement between the exams was measured by the Kappa test at a 95% confidence level. The macrocospic examination done by SFI correctly identified 90.3% of granulomatous lesions, when compared with histological examination, and the majority of carcasses (92.5%) showed the lesions only in lymph nodes of the alimentary chain. Histological examination confirmed the presence of granulomatous lesions in 90.3% of the lymph nodes. The agreements between histological examination, ZN staining (Kappa: 0.342), IHC and the isolation of MAC (Kappa: 0.102) were low, however high between IHC and histology with typical presence of granulomas in the lymph nodes (Kappa: 0.973). IHC together with histological examination revealed to be efficient for identification of the granulomatous lymphadenitis caused by MAC.

Samples of liver, kidney, spleen, and hepatic, mesenteric, retromandibular, prescapular and mediastinic lymph nades, collected from 12 groups of cattle of different ages from the State of Mato Grosso, were studied. A total of 120 bovines was examined. According to their history, the animals were kept in pastures where Brachiaria decumbens and Brachiaria brizantha were the predominant plants. Grossly there was a yellowish liver which was more evidente after 24 hr. fixation with formalin. Hepatic and mesenteric lymph nades had normal size, howeve1; on the cut surface there were whitish grooves, extending from the cortex to the medulal; and multiple small white nodular areas in the medulal: Beside these areas there were red, sometimes hemorrhagic, foci. Microscopically all animals had cells with foamy citoplasm in the liver and in the hepatic and mesenteric lymph nades, of ten forming multinucleated cells. In the lymph nodes these infiltrates were adjacent to necrotic, hemorrhagic areas. In the liver the foamy cells were irregularly disseminated throughout the parenchyma or formed nodules around the central vein. These cells did not stain with PAS but weakly with oil red. Ultrastructurally foamy cells and hepatocytes showed negative images of crystals involved partially or totally by membranes. Mediastinic, retromandibular and prescapular lymph nades of the sarne animals showed no gross and microscopic alterations.

Foram examinadas amostras de fígado, rins, baço e linfonodos hepáticos, mesentéricos, retro-mandibulares, pré-escapulares e mediastínicos de 12 lotes em um total de 120 animais, envolvendo diferentes faixas etárias, todos oriundos do Estado de Mato Grosso. Os animais haviam sido mantidos em pastos onde Brachiaria decumbens e Brachiaria brizantha eram as forrageiras predominantes. Macroscopicamente o fígado desses animais mostrava coloração amarelada, mais evidente após 24 horas de fixação em formol a 10%. Nos linfonodos hepáticos e mesentéricos foram evidenciadas, na superfície de corte, estriações esbranquiçadas de forma radiada na cortical e medular com pequenas áreas brancas nodulares multifocais principalmente na medular. Em muitos casos, associado com essas áreas foram vistos focos de aspecto hemorrágico. Microscopicamente foram encontradas, no fígado, linfonodos hepáticos e mesentéricos, células com citoplasma espumoso, muitas das quais multinucleadas. Nos linfonodos hepáticos e mesentéricos estes infiltrados estavam associados a áreas de necrose e hemorragia. No fígado, as células de citoplasma espumoso estavam presentes em todo parênquima, de forma irregular, geralmente formando nódulos ao redor da veia centrolobula1: Estas células não se coravam pelo ácido periódico de Schiff (PAS) e apenas fracamente na coloração de gordura pelo Oil Red O. Na ultraestrutura as células de citoplasma espumoso apresentavam fendas, parcial ou totalmente delimitadas por membrana, que representam a imagem negativa de cristais, presentes também no citoplasma dos hepatócitos.
#4 - Histochemical diagnosis of actinomycotic-like granulomas in cattle from southern Brazil
Abstract in English:
The etiology of actinomycotic-like lesions from 254 lymph nodes of cattle from southern Brazil was determined by histochemistry. The diagnosis of these lesions in hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) preparations was based upon the pyogranulomatous inflammatory reaction with centrally located sulphur grains. The lesions stained by the MacCallum-Goodpasture technique showed 60.36% Gram-positive coccoid bacteria (Staphylococcus), 36.62% Gram-negative cocco-bacillus (Actinobacillus lignieresz) and 2.72% Gram-positive filamentous branching elements (Actinomyces bovis). Fite-Faraco stain demonstrated the acid-fast properties and Gomori stain, the morphological features to distinguish between Actinomyces bovis .and Nocardia sp. Gram-positive cocei were diagnosed as botryomycosis which occurred predominantly in prescapular, parotid and femoral lymph nodes. The presence of Gram-negative coccobacillary elements indicated Actinóbacillus sp., whereas the finding of Gram-positive filamentous branching elements indicated Actinomyces sp. These latter two were more frequently found in retropharyngeal and sublingual lymph nodes. Small differences in the morphology of the bacterial colonies may help to establish the etiological diagnosis in H-E preparations. The Gram method, however, allows an accurate distinction between Actinobacillus lignieresi and Actinomyces bovis in cases where fresh material for bacteriological isolation is no longer available. Of 467 other cases originally diagnosed as tuberculosis in gross inspection at the slaughter house, 10.23% were histologically confirmed as actinomycotic-like granulomas. This certainly causes economic losses due to the condemnation of carcasses.
Abstract in Portuguese:
Foi determinada a etiologia dos "granulomas actinomicóides" através da histoquímica em 254 materiais de linfonodos de bovinos do Rio Grande do Sul. O diagnóstico de granuloma actinomicóide foi baseado na inflamação piogranulomatosa, contendo, na porção central, os grânulos de enxofre, observados na coloração pela hematoxilina e eosina (H-E). Ao material com essa lesão foi aplicada a técnica de MacCallum-Ooodpasture que evidenciou uma incidência de 60,36% de bactérias cocoides Gram-positivas (Staphylococcus), 36,62% de coco-bacilos Gram-negativos (Actinobacillus lignieresz) e de 2,72% de elementos filamentosos, ramificados, Gram-positivos (Actinomyces bovis) como constituintes do grão de enxofre. Nos casos de actinomicose aplicaram-se as técnicas de Fite-Faraco e Prata de Gomori para a diferenciação entre Actinomyces bovis e Nocardia sp. Os casos de botriomicose foram vistos principalmente nos linfonodos pré-escapulares, parotídeos e femurais; os de actinobacilose e actinomicose nos retrofaringes e sublinguais. Pequenas diferenças do aspecto das colônias podem auxiliar no diagnóstico etiológico nas preparações coradas pela H-E, mas o emprego das técnicas de Gram permite a diferenciação entre Actinobacillus lignieresi e Actinomyces bovis quando não se dispõe de culturas. Adicionalmente observou-se pelo estudo histológico de outros 467 casos, que 10,23% deles foram diagnosticados como granuloma actinomicóide, porém interpretados macroscopicamente, na inspeção, como tuberculose o que certamente leva a prejuízos econômicos pela condenação das carcaças.
