AB Between 1989 and 1995, after having excluded rabies, histological examination of brains of 1037 cattle, 1494 sheep and 1436 cats with symptoms of CNS were carried out in the Hungarian diagnostic institutes (Table). None of the cases were found alterations characteristic for spongiform encephalopathies (BSE, scrapie, FSE) considering the diagnostic criteria specified in the European communities and USA. These findings confirm that Hungary remains free of spongiform encephalopathy of cattle, sheep and cats. In cattle and sheep, most frequently listeriosis and other purulent meningitides and/or focal purulent encephalitides caused by other bacteria, Aujeszky's disease, CCN, as well as encephalitis caused by ruminal acidosis, alkalosis, methaemoglobinaemia, ketosis, certain toxic matters and plants, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and chlamydias were found associated with the nervous symptoms observed. In cats, Aujeszky's disease and different poisonings (toxicoses) were most frequently diagnosed. It has been pointed out that besides the histological investigation of the brains directed to the diagnosis of spongiform encephalopathies, the evaluation of clinical symptoms observed in vivo (the relatively long course of the disease, extending weeks or more frequently months and the gradually progressing, characteristic clinical symptoms) is also essential in each suspected case.
IN Von 1989 bis 1995 wurden in Ungarn nach dem Ausschluß von Tollwut die Gehirne von 1037 Rindern, 1494 Schafen und 1436 Katzen mit neurologischen Auffälligkeiten histologisch untersucht. In keinem Fall wurde eine spongiforme Enzephalopathie festgestellt.
