Renal Tubular Necrosis and Interstitial Hemorrhage (“Turkey-Egg Kidney”) in a Circovirus-Infected Yorkshire Cross Pig
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A juvenile Yorkshire cross pig with rapidly progressive acute renal failure was submitted for necropsy. There was marked edema and disseminated petechiation of both kidneys, producing the "turkey-egg" appearance that is characteristic of exotic diseases such as African and classical swine fever. Microscopic findings included renal tubular epithelial necrosis with extensive interstitial edema and hemorrhage; lymphoplasmacytic, eosinophilic, and histiocytic tubulointerstitial nephritis; and numerous botryoid intracytoplasmic inclusions within the renal tubular epithelium and interstitial macrophages. Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) was readily identified within these lesions by both PCV2-specific immunohistochemistical staining and electron microscopy. Tests for African and classical swine fever viruses, as well as bacterial cultures, were negative. The striking renal lesions in this pig were attributed to PCV2 infection and are distinct from those that are typical of other PCV2-associated diseases.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
