“…This agrees with the data of KONA and BELOBRADS and SIEGMANN and WOERNLE~~. We did not find the eosinophilic cellular infiltrates in the myocardium as reported by KILIAN et al 7 In 60.5% of the cases we observed necrosis of the epithelial cells in the renal tubules. Although these changes are not strictly specific, their incidence suggests they are an essential morphologic change of round heart disease.…”

Clinical and pathologic methods and attempts at transmission were employed to study so-called round heart disease of the domestic fowl. These studies indicate that the disease is noninfectious. The use of old litter in poultry houses contributed to the appearance of the disease but was not the sole etiologic factor. Zinc-plated feeders were not involved. The disease could not be reproduced by inoculation or feeding of affected material. Treatment of affected fowl with selenium dioxide was ineffective. Fatty and vacuolar degeneration of the myocardium and severe renal necrosis occurred. The disease is attributed to toxic injury. Its mechanism and the factors that condition it remain unknown. Klinische und pathologische Untersuchungsmethoden sowie Übertragungsversuche wurden zur Untersuchung der sogenannten «Kugelherz» Krankheit vom Haushuhn verwendet.

“…Atrophy of the ovaries, seen in all hens, was also noted by KILIAN et al 7 The pathologic changes seen by us, particularly those of the heart and kidney, strongly suggest a toxic injury. The pathogenesis of these lesions and the etiologic factors are presently unknown.…”

“…Hindilerde, kuluçkadan sonraki birkaç haftadan sonra saptanabilmiş olan lezyonlar, tavuklarda 9. ay ile 3 yaş arasında görülmüştür (5). Hindilerin daha çok erkeklerinde görülmesine (4) karşılık, horozda pek bulunmamıştır (5). Bu bozukluğun fazla karbonhidratlı gıda ve patates beslemesine (2), genetik hatalara (4,8), bakım ve beslenme düzensizliğine (6), hatta çeşitli bakterilere ilişkin olduğunu (ı, 7) öneren araştırıcılar vardır.…”
