There are multiple strains of laryngotracheitis virus, producing a range of mild to severe tissue lesions. On post-mortem examination, the trachea and larynx are the most common areas to find gross lesions. Here the trachea has been opened revealing diffuse inflammation and hemorrhages. These are common gross lesions associated with the more severe epizootic form of the viral infection.
Pathologic description:
The mucosal surface of the trachea shows numerous small, sometimes coalescing, bright red foci (petechiae).
