    Gangrene: Unit-I Veterinary Pathology (Paper-I)

    Gangrene is defined as the invasion and decay of necrotic tissue by saprophytic bacteria. It commonly occurs in the lungs, intestines, and extremities. There are two main types of gangrene: dry gangrene and moist gangrene. Dry gangrene occurs in tissue with less blood content and fluid, leading to slower necrosis. It results in a dry, shriveled appearance with a green to black color. Moist gangrene occurs in tissue with more moisture and heat, allowing very rapid growth of putrefactive bacteria. It causes swelling, blistering, and a wet appearance in affected areas. Untreated gangrene can lead to septicemia, toxemia, shock and death of the

    GANGRENE

    UNIT-I
    VETERINARY PATHOLOGY (PAPER-I)
    DR. KAUSHAL KUMAR
    Assistant Professor & Head
    Department of Veterinary Pathology
    Bihar Veterinary College, BASU, Patna
    Introduction
    • Defined as Invasion and petrification of necrotic tissue by saprophytic bacteria.

    • Commonly seen in

    • LUNG (due to faulty drenching/infected stomach tube)

    • INTESTINE (due to torsion)

    • EXTREMETIES(due to freezing/ergot poisoning/Se Toxicity/Fusarium toxicity)


    Classification of GANGRENE
    • Depending on:
    ✓ Temperature of tissue
    ✓ Moisture content of tissue
    ✓ Type of predominant necrosis in the tissue

    Two Main Type

    DRY GANGRENE and

    MOIST GANGRENE
    DRY GANGRENE
    Occur Causes
    Common Fungus

    Moisture and temperature of the necrosed area are limiting factor for the growth & spread of putrefying bacteria.
    DRY GANGRENE
    GROSS APPEARANCE
    Dry, shriveled & mummified appearance
    Colour green to black
    Zone of hyperemia and inflammation
    putrid odour due to H2S
    MICROSCOPIC APPEARANCE
    Coagulative necrosis in affected area
    Phagocytic leukocytes are predominant cell
    pink stained with numerous bacteria

    GIT is mostly involved, because intestinal wall gets necrosed easily by putrefactive bacteria and thereby rupture
    occurs, and finally fecal content discharged in to peritoneal cavity and microorganisms spread rapidly into viscera.
    Finally septicemia , toxemia shock & death occurs.
    MOIST GANGRENE
    Occur Common in Causes Necrotizing

    bacteria

    Death of individual is usual the result if moist gangrene is present. In such cases, animals dies of septicemia, toxemia and shock.
    MOIST GANGRENE
    GROSS APPEARANCE
    Swelling, blistering & wet appearance
    Green, Gray or black Colour due to H2S
    Offensive odour
    Numerous gas bubble within the tissue
    No sharp line of demarcation between living and dead tissue
    MICROSCOPIC APPEARANCE
    Liquefactive necrosis is predominant type in affected area
    Phagocytic leukocytes are predominant cell
    pink stained with numerous putrefactive bacteria

    Dried & shriveled part may undergo liquefaction with the passage of time and finally may cause sloughing of time
    and finally cause sloughing of the affected tissue or area termed as VERTUAL AMPUTATION
