Immunohistochemical (IHC) testing for Coxiella and Chlamydia antigens was performed on 14 MAF smear-positive cases as well as 29 MAF smear-negative cases Received during the study period. Nine MAF smear-positive cases as well as 1 MAF smear-negative case were Coxiella-positive via the IHC test. No placentas were positive for Chlamydia antigen. Various histopathologic features were categorized for all placentas and the presence or absence of selected risk categories was also graded for each case. The results between Coxiella IHC-positive cases and Coxiella IHC-negative\/MAF-negative cases were compared using Fisher's exact test ( P value at 95% confidence). Significant associations were found between Coxiella IHC-positive cases and the presence of placental inflammation ( P = 0.0027), placental necrosis ( P = 0.012), fetal pneumonia ( P = 0.0152), and the visibility of Coxiella-like organisms within trophoblasts on hematoxylin and eosin\u2013stained sections ( P &lt; 0.0001). Histopathologic features of Coxiella IHC-positive placentas included infiltration of the chorionic stroma by mononuclear cells, necrosis of chorionic trophoblasts, and focal exudation of fibrin and neutrophils. The results indicate that MAF smears are a good screening tool for the presence of Coxiella in placentas from bovine abortion cases and that the detection of this pathogen in aborted placentas via traditional staining or IHC methods is usually associated with placentitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/104063870001200505","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,12]],"date-time":"2011-05-12T16:20:37Z","timestamp":1305217237000},"page":"419-425","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":89,"title":["<i>Coxiella
