The disease occurred in a commercial flock consisting of 36,000 pullets (Babcock), first appearing around 30 days of age. Clinically, affected chickens showed unilateral or bilateral swelling of the facial skin and the eyelids, increased lacrimation, congestion of conjunctival vessels, and respiratory rales. Some of the severely affected chickens closed their eyes. The morbidity reached 27.8%, and it was estimated that approximately 10% died from reduced feed intake due to impaired vision. Ten 70-day-old chickens with clinical diseases were examined for lesions. There was acute to subacute keratoconjunctivitis in all of the chickens, and some exhibited laryngitis. Adherence of mycoplasma organisms to epithelial cells of the conjunctiva, cornea, and larynx was frequently observed. These organisms had an ultrastructure characteristic of MG and showed a positive reaction with rabbit polyclonal antibodies against the S6 strain of MG by immunohistochemical analysis. MG was isolated from tissue homogenates of the eyelids and tracheas of the affected chickens. Many of the chickens had atrophic bursae, and infectious bursal disease virus antigens were detected in necrotic bursal follicles by immunostaining. Therefore, immunosuppression due to infectious bursal disease was implicated in the pathogenesis of keratoconjunctivitis in the present cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/030098589503200102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,26]],"date-time":"2010-01-26T03:12:59Z","timestamp":1264475579000},"page":"11-18","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Occurrence of Keratoconjunctivitis Apparently Caused by\n                    <i>Mycoplasma gallisepticum<\/i>\n                    in Layer Chickens"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"T.","family":"Nunoya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nippon Institute for Biological Science, Shinmachi, Ome, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Yagihashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nippon Institute for Biological Science, Shinmachi, Ome, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Tajima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nippon Institute for Biological Science, Shinmachi, Ome, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Y.","family":"Nagasawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nippon Institute for Biological Science, Shinmachi, Ome, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1995,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-030098589503200102","first-page":"117","volume":"63","author":"Al-Aubaidi JM","year":"1973","journal-title":"Cornell Vet"},{"key":"bibr2-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI111279"},{"key":"bibr3-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/iai.18.3.806-815.1977"},{"key":"bibr4-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/IAI.5.1.70-76.1972"},{"key":"bibr5-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02814471"},{"key":"bibr6-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1590053"},{"key":"bibr7-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/jb.98.3.1036-1040.1969"},{"key":"bibr8-030098589503200102","first-page":"115","volume":"85","author":"Broderson JR","year":"1976","journal-title":"Am J Pathol"},{"key":"bibr9-030098589503200102","first-page":"35","volume":"70","author":"Canaghan RBA","year":"1958","journal-title":"Vet Rec"},{"key":"bibr10-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/iai.2.4.431-438.1970"},{"key":"bibr11-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1591641"},{"key":"bibr12-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0034-5288(18)34751-9"},{"key":"bibr13-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-583801-6.50070-6"},{"key":"bibr14-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749-6632.1967.tb27648.x"},{"key":"bibr15-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/jb.94.5.1451-1458.1967"},{"key":"bibr16-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/jb.95.6.2022-2030.1968"},{"key":"bibr17-030098589503200102","first-page":"186","volume":"26","author":"Cordy DR","year":"1965","journal-title":"Am J Vet Res"},{"key":"bibr18-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.84.16.416"},{"key":"bibr19-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1590976"},{"key":"bibr20-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1852","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.1991.52.11.1852","volume":"52","author":"Fix AS","year":"1991","journal-title":"Am J Vet Res"},{"key":"bibr21-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/002367774780943724"},{"key":"bibr22-030098589503200102","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/119.2.126"},{"key":"bibr23-030098589503200102","first-page":"165","volume":"4","author":"Jordan FTW","year":"1975","journal-title":"Avian Pathol"},{"key":"bibr24-030098589503200102","unstructured":"Jubb KVF, Kennedy PC, Palmer N, ed.
