Usual Site

Twenty guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) and eight domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were each exposed to 100 or 200 third-stage larvae of Parelaphostrongylus andersoni or Parelaphostrongylus odocoilei. A few larvae penetrated the stomach and caecal walls and were found in the mesentery, liver, and diaphragm. However, most were recovered from the lungs and pleurae of the pleural cavity. Larvae did not appear to grow or develop and they did not reach the skeletal muscles, the usual site of adult P. andersoni and P. odocoilei in deer. All larvae in tissues were encapsulated (after 36 days) and overcome (after 59 days) by a local host response. Larvae appeared to migrate via the circulatory system and by direct penetration of tissues and organs. Patent infections were not found in three domestic goats (Capra hircus) up to 101 days after exposure to 300 or 1000 third-stage larvae of P. odocoilei.

Pathologic effects and host response were evaluated in seven white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus) and six mule deer ( O. hemionus hemionus) each exposed per os to 300 or 1000 third-stage larvae of Parelaphostrongylus odocoilei. Pathologic effects in mule deer consisted of hemorrhagic myositis throughout skeletal muscles, severe verminous pneumonia, and moderate lymphadenitis. The major host response was a granulomatous inflammation associated with nematode eggs and larvae. Granulomas obliterated the normal architecture of affected tissues. Pathologic effects and host response were minimal in white-tailed deer. P. odocoilei is considered a potential direct or indirect pathogen in mule deer but an insignificant parasite in white-tailed deer.

Protostrongylus Boughtoni

The life cycle of the lungworm Protostrongylus boughtoni Goble and Dougherty, 1943 was completed in intermediate and definitive hosts. Larvae developed to the infective third-stage in the foot of the snail Vallonia pulchella (Miiller, 1774) in 28–30 days at 18 °C. First-, second-, third-, and fourth-stage larvae are described. Patent infections developed in laboratory-reared snowshoe hares, Lepus americanus americanus, each given 50 third-stage P. boughtoni larvae per os 25 to 27 days postexposure. Periods of patency ranged from 41 to 104 days. Patent infections developed in domestic rabbits, Oryctolagus cuniculus, Dutch Belted strain, given 50 or 150 larvae in 25 to 26 days postexposure, but periods of patency ranged from 7 to 13 days and larval output was very low.

Surgical Manipulation

Most authors considered pleural cavity drainage to be the main method of treatment of acute pleural empyema using minor surgery. Despite the simplicity of drainage of the pleural cavity, the number of complications after this surgical manipulation, according to the reports of some authors, varies from 3 to 8 %. The complications of pleural drainage in the patients with acute nonspecific pleural empyema have been studied and the technique of pleural drainage "blindly" has been introduced, which allows drainage to be located along the chest wall. At the first stage of the four−stage study, the complications of pleural drainage in 38 patients with acute nonspecific pleural empyema were analyzed, at the second stage a device for drainage of the pleural cavity "blindly" was developed to place drainage in parallel to the chest wall, at the third stage patients were tested; on IV −− drainage of the pleural cavity of 34 patients was performed according to the proposed method. The reason for the development of drainage complications in the pleural cavity of patients with acute pleural empyema was the inadequate location of drainage in the pleural cavity, drainage of the pleural cavity was carried out in general hospitals without the use of thoracoscopic equipment. Curved thoracoport with trocar for a blind drainage of the pleural cavity "blindly" was developed and introduced into clinical practice. This technique eliminates the involuntary location of the drainage in the pleural cavity, installing it along the chest wall, and is safe. Complications associated with drainage of the pleural cavity according to the developed method using a curved thoracoport with a trocar, inadequate location of drainage, were not observed in patients. Key words: acute pleural empyema, pleural cavity drainage, curved trocar.
