Özet: Pneumonia is an important lung disease that considered as one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity in cattle. It is clinically characterized by anorexia, high fever, dyspnea, increase the rate of inhaling and exhale of respiratory system and discharge of nose. Fibrinous bronchopneumonias, purulent bronchopneumonias, interstitial pneumonias and tuberculosis have been come to the fore in classification studies of respiratory diseases of cattle. In this study after slaughter samples were separated into 4 groups by based on macroscopic examination (fibrinous bronchopneumonia, purulent bronchopneumonia, interstitial pneumonia and tuberculosis pneumonia) each group consists of 25 cattle. Later, 8 blood serums and lung tissues were taken from each group were confirmed by microscopic examination. In this study, the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and neopterin of tuberculosis pneumonias, malondialdehyde (MDA) of fibrinous bronchopneumonias, procalcitonin of pulmonary bronchopneumonias, and neopterin of interstitial pneumonias were statistically found to be significantly higher in both of lung tissues and sera of cattle. It was though that, although TNFα, MDA, procalcitonin and neopterin can help veterinarians to type pneumonia, comprehensive studies are needed.
