OPTIONS
(A) Recurrent episodes of fever, weight Loss, ventral edema and petechial haemorrhages
(B) Continuous fever, Lethargy and inappetence with mild thrombocytopenia
(C) Generalized edema, constipation and colic
(D) Colic, diarrhoea and abscesses
ANSWER
(A) Recurrent episodes of fever, weight Loss, ventral edema and petechial haemorrhages

Chronic equine infectious anemia commonly produces recurrent febrile episodes, progressive weight loss, dependent or ventral edema, and petechial hemorrhages because of persistent viremia, thrombocytopenia, and immune-mediated blood-cell destruction. The other options do not match this relapsing chronic syndrome.
