Spontaneous autologous erythrocyte-rosette formation of lymphocytes from cerebrospinal fluid of a dog with canine distemper.

An adult female crossbed dog, with pyrexia, ocular, neurologic and respiratory problems suggestive of distemper, was observed for 28 days. Marked lymphopenia was present on days, 8, 12, and 245, and myoclonus of the fore- and hind-limbs was seen on day 22. At day 24, a cytopahogenic agent with param...
