十七匹赛马因表现不佳、反复发烧、咳嗽和/或流鼻涕的病史而被转诊。所有患者均接受了彻底的诊断程序，包括体格检查、全血细胞计数、血浆纤维蛋白原估计、动脉血气分析、胸部放射学和超声检查、内窥镜检查、气管抽吸以及细胞学和培养评估，包括敏感性测试。根据这些程序，14匹马被诊断为细菌性肺炎，3匹马被诊断为细菌性胸膜肺炎。链球菌属分离出11例（61.2%），马红球菌3例（16.6%），肺炎克雷伯菌3例（16.6%），铜绿假单胞菌1例（5.6%）。
Seventeen racehorses were referred with a history of poor performance, recurrent fever, coughing and/or nasal discharge. All patients underwent a thorough diagnostic procedure, including physical examination, complete blood count, plasma fibrinogen estimation, arterial blood gas analysis, thoracic radiology and ultrasonography, endoscopy, tracheal aspiration with cytological and cultural evaluation, including sensitivity test. According to these procedures, bacterial pneumonia was diagnosed in 14 horses and bacterial pleuropneumonia in 3 horses. Streptococcus spp. were isolated in 11 cases (61.2%), Rhodococcus equi in 3 cases (16.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae in 3 cases (16.6%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in one case (5.6%).
