Sažetak
Postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in the European wild boars were reported 2003 in Spain and Germany. In Croatia the first finding of the disease was reported in 2006. During last two years several piglets approximately 3 to 7 month of age were found dead in the continental region of Croatia. A complete necropsy was performed at the Pathology department of the Croatian Veterinary Institute. The diagnosis of PMWS was established based on the three key diagnostic criteria including clinical picture, specific pathomorphologic lesions and detection of the presence of PCV2 antigen in the lymphoid lesions by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The major macroscopical findings were emaciation, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, generalised increase of lymph node size and catarrhal-purulent bronhopneumonia. Histologically moderate lymphocyte depletion and hystiocitic infiltration, and multinucleate giant cells in lymhoid tissues (spleen and lymph nodes) were observed. PCV2 antigen in the follicular macrophages and dendritic cells and interfollicular macrophages areas of lymph node was detected by IHC.
