QUESTION

Marbling of the lung is a characteristic feature is seen in?

OPTIONS

(A) Anaplasmosis
(B) Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia
(C) Leptospirosis
(D) vibriosis

ANSWER

(B) Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia

EXPLANATION

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia characteristically produces marbling of the lung because interlobular septa become thickened by edema and fibrin while affected lobules show varying stages of pneumonia. Anaplasmosis, leptospirosis, and vibriosis do not cause this classic marbled pulmonary appearance.
