Abstract
This report disclosed changes in cardiac troponin expression during myocardial degeneration in a calf with foot and mouth disease (FMD). The case presented was a 7-day-old calf milk fed by its mother which diagnosed as having FMD (O-type) by Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Şap (Foot and Mouth Disease) Institute. The calf suffered from myocarditis due to suckling FMD infected dam. Blood sample was taken from the jugular vein of calf. Serum cTn-T, cTn-I, CK-MB, LDH, AST and ALT levels were measured using commercial kits. cTn-T, cTn-I, CK-MB, LDH, AST and ALT levels were determined as 1.00 ng/mL, 26.68 ng/mL, 262 U/L, 4503 U/L, 56.6 U/L, 55.3 U/L, respectively and these values were higher than those of healthy calf. It is thought that the use of cardiac troponins (cTn-I, cTn-T) for the diagnosis of the disease will give accurate and rapid results.
