“…They can induce mild to moderate infiltrates of neutrophils in the superficial endometrium with accumulations in the lumina and frequently large accumulations of lymphocytes and plasma cells in the stroma around vessels. 11,12,16 Over time, neutrophils gradually are replaced by mononuclear cells until resolution. 11,12,16 Both of these organisms would be expected to respond to therapy with early diagnosis, 16 but cases noted here were unusually resistant to antimicrobial treatment.…”

Similar bacterial species and resistance to therapy have been associated with BHV-4 in cases of endometritis in Europe.…”

Endometritis in Postparturient Cattle Associated with Bovine Herpesvirus-4 Infection: 15 Cases

Abstract. Suppurative, ulcerative endometritis associated with bovine herpesvirus-4 (BHV-4) infection was identified in 15 postparturient dairy cows from 5 separate dairies. Characteristic eosinophilic to amphophilic intranuclear viral inclusion bodies were identified within degenerate endometrial lining epithelium and endothelial cells. Bovine herpesvirus-4 was confirmed as the etiology by a combination of fluorescent antibody assays, viral isolation, heminested PCR, ultrastructural examination of the uterus and inoculated tissue culture cells, and negative-stain electron microscopy of tissue culture supernatant. Viral particles measuring 70-95 nm were demonstrated in uterine epithelial and endothelial cells by electron microscopy. Bacteria including Arcanobacterium pyogenes, Escherichia coli, and an ␣-Streptococcus isolate were isolated from all uteri. Bovine herpesvirus-4-associated endometritis has been previously reported in sporadic cases in Europe but has not been previously reported in the United States. Endometritis associated with BHV-4 appears to be an emerging syndrome in Georgia dairy herds.

Hartigan, P.J., 1978. The role of non-specific uterine infection in the infertility of clinically normal repeat-breeder cows. Vet. Sci. Commun., I: 307-321.The role of non-specific bacteria in the infertility of clinically normal repeat-breeder cows is reviewed, and data are presented from a recent study in which bacteriological and histological samples were taken from the uteri of dairy cows at intervals during the non-gravid period.The evidence does not support the view that endometritis is an important cause of this infertility.In the absence of accurate counts 6f the bacteria present in the uterus at the time of service and during the subsequent oestrous cycle, it is impossible to determine whether pathogenic bacteria cause the infertility by injuring the gametes or the developing conceptus.A comprehensive quantitative study is needed of the microbiology of the uterus of the repeatbreeder cow at service and during the subsequent oestrous cycle.
