We report a patient with chronic renal failure and ciliocytophthoria or "detached ciliary tufts" identified from her peritoneal fluid. The recognition of these rare structures is critical to avoid misdiagnosing a presumed protozoan infection and embarking on further costly investigations and unneces

The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence and the potential role of equine herpesviruses (EHVs) detection in both bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and tracheal wash (TW). The population included a control group (CTL; 37 TW and 25 BAL) and a pathological group (PAT; 259 TW and 387 BAL)
