Presentation
These data are presented in light of current theories of fetal viral immunity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The present report demonstrates that the progesterone level and CTUP may be adequate as early diagnostic markers of fungal placentitis and bacterial infection. [jlc.jst.go.jp]

- Cervical Incompetence
Anatomical, hormonal or even neurological factors contributing to cervical incompetence and/or increased perineal or vaginal contamination will increase the risk of ascending placentits. [myeventflo.com]
In mares that are considered high risk (those that have a history of previous feto-placental compromise, cervical incompetency/lacerations, chronic disease, old age, poor reproductive conformation), routine placental ultrasonographic evaluations, in conjunction [info.selectbreeders.com]

Abstract We report a case of early congenital syphilis in which the placenta showed diffuse proliferative villitis and Treponema pallidum was identified by indirect immunoperoxidase stain in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded placental tissue. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Future studies will hopefully identify markers of infection and inflammation characteristic for placentitis so treatment can be initiated early. [info.selectbreeders.com]
Additional diagnostic tools are therefore needed to accurately identify pregnant mares with early stages of placentitis and to specifically target these mares for treatment, they said. [horsetalk.co.nz]
Thereafter, placentitis induced mares were randomly assigned into: (1) basic treatment, TMS+FM (n = 8); (2) basic treatment with ALT supplementation, TMS+FM+ALT (n = 8); (3) basic treatment with ECP supplementation, TMS+FM+ECP (n = 6); (4) basic treatment [experts.illinois.edu]
Currently, ultrasonographic evaluation of the placenta is used to detect early cases of placentitis and to implement treatment to prevent abortion and delay premature labor. [equine.ca.uky.edu]
Prognosis
PROGNOSIS AND RELEVANT FACTORS The prognosis is generally poor. It is difficult to control the infection and maintain a healthy pregnancy. my role I might observe You might make these observations when a horse has this condition. [horsesidevetguide.com]
Pathophysiology is emphasized throughout, providing a sound basis for discussions of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis that follow. [books.google.com]
Most foals that present with these symptoms have a very poor prognosis but Fiona fought every step of the way and responded to treatment. [belvoirequineclinic.com.au]
Prognosis If the condition is diagnosed early and aggressive treatment initiated with a combination of broad spectrum antibiotics, altrenogest and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, up to 73% of mares may deliver live foals. [beh.com.au]
Etiology
This study was conducted to compare C4d immunoreactivity between villitis of unknown etiology (VUE) and cytomegaloviral placentitis. C4d immunohistochemistry was performed in cases with VUE (n = 16) and cytomegaloviral placentitis (n = 5). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

To prevent abortion, early detection of the condition is critical and waiting until clinical signs of placentitis develop may be too late. [veterinarypartner.vin.com]
Thickening at the cervical star can prevent it rupturing at birth or abortion, so that the chorion tears across the rostral body. [myeventflo.com]
These preventative measures in combination enable identification and treatment of a problem early in the course of infection, providing the opportunity for the birth of a healthier foal. [info.selectbreeders.com]
