摘要

In horses,the term chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) usually denotes a syndrome of environmentally associated respiratory distress occurring in horses older than 6 years. In this disease, which is a particular problem of performance and pleasure horses, severe bouts of airway obstruction occur when susceptible animals are stabled and fed hay. Disease remission occurs when animals are returned to pasture. A similar condition is reported in grazing horses, particularly in the southeastern United States. There is evidence that COPD is a hypersensitivity response to antigens in hay, particularly the thermophilic molds and actinomycetes. However, hay contains other agents, e.g, endotoxin,that could potentially cause airway disease, and it is likely that COPD has a multifactorial etiology, The term COPD has also been applied to any noninfectious airway inflammation in which there are more than 5% neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.Using the latter definition, many young racehorses with an increased amount of mucopus in the airways would be said to have COPD . Although veterinarians and trainers associate mucopus with lung dysfunction, the precise functional abnormalities leading to poor performance are unknown.Because of its severity,heaves has been more extensively studied than the airway disease of young horses, but it is likely that some of the pathogenic mechanisms, especially the effect of inflammation on airway function, are similar in the two syndromes. This paper reviews the possible pathogenetic mechanisms that link inflammation to airway obstruction, particularly to bronchospasm.
