CHRONIC PSEUDOMONAS-AERUGINOSA ENDOBRONCHITIS IN RHESUS-MONKEYS .2. A HISTOPATHOLOGIC ANALYSIS JOURNAL OF MEDICAL PRIMATOLOGY Cheung, A. T., Moss, R. B., Kurland, G., Leong, A. B., NOVICK, W. J. 1993; 22 (4): 257-262

Abstract

We have recently established a rhesus monkey model of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) endobronchitis by bronchoscopic instillation of PA-embedded agar beads. All experimental animals developed chronic neutrophilic endobronchitis similar to chronic PA endobronchitis in cystic fibrosis (CF). Histopathologic studies further confirmed similarities to chronic PA endobronchitis in CF, including marked peribronchial inflammation, epithelial damage, presence of degraded cilia and ciliary abnormalities, appearance of PA bacterial clusters, mucosal hyperplasia, goblet cell hypertrophy/hypersecretion, airway obstruction, alveolar abnormalities, bronchiectasis, and fibrosis.
