History and Symptoms
The disease in the lungs is characterized by enlargement of the tracheobronchial lymph nodes and infiltration of the lungs, sometimes leading to lung lobe consolidation and pleural effusion.[1] Signs and symptoms include cough, loss of appetite, weight loss, anemia, and difficulty breathing.[2] Seizures and rear limb weakness can be seen. Invasion of the bone marrow can cause pancytopenia.[3]
