Clinical Signs:
Conjunctivitis, swelling (periorbital region, infraorbital sinuses)
Clinical description:
The clinical presentation of laryngotracheitis is variable and the severity of signs is influenced by the pathotype of the virus as well as environmental and host factors. In the mild enzootic form of the infection, chickens may become unthrifty, experience drops in egg production, and may develop ocular and respiratory signs. In this photo, the chicken can be seen to have conjunctivitis, excessive lacrimation, and swelling of the periorbital region and infraorbital sinuses. In the uncomplicated mild form of the infection, morbidity is approximately 5% and the mortality is very low.
