Abstract

The acute thorax syndrome is fairly common in horses and has a high mortality rate. The development of more efficient diagnostic tools and treatment regimens has provided a broader understanding of the problem. The constant update of veterinarians about the etiology, occurrence rate, diagnosis and therapeutic approach of the disease will certainly result in a higher rate of successful outcomes.
