Diagnosing Mares with Endometritis with Uterine Lavage
Endometritis, or inflammation of the lining of the uterus, can impair a mare’s ability to get pregnant. Currently the gold standard diagnostic test is an endometrial biopsy, but the time to receive results can be variable. This clinical study evaluates a new type of diagnostic test, a multiplex assay, in its ability to detect endometritis in mares in a timely, less invasive fashion as compared to an endometrial biopsy.
Eligibility: Mares in estrus needing a breeding soundness evaluation, especially if there has been trouble getting pregnant
Treatment Response for Equine Fungal Endometritis
Fungal endometritis is a serious cause of infertility in mares. Treatment can be expensive and difficult. There is very little information on which treatments are most effective. This study aims to evaluate treatment response in relation to the resistance patterns of the fungal agents to antifungal drugs.
Eligibility: Any mare diagnosed with a fungal uterine infection
Compensation: A fungal culture and susceptibility will be run free of charge
