Plasma C‐reactive protein and interleukin‐6 concentrations in foals during health and respiratory disease
Neither IL-6 nor CRP concentrations were suitable predictors of subclinical or clinical bronchopneumonia in foals in this study. Further studies are needed to determine if more frequent measurement of these markers in foals at the time of pneumonia diagnosis provides helpful diagnostic or prognostic information.
