The article presents the results of the study of histological changes in organs and tissues of cats for chlamydial infection. The histopathological examination of the postmortem cases of cats (n = 8) of different breeds between the ages of 3 to 6 years old, who lives with the laboratory methods have been diagnosed and identified the pathogen Chlamydia felis. According to historical data from sick animals were recorded various nature and degree of conjunctivitis and pronounced signs of a lesion of the respiratory tract (rhinitis, bronchitis, pneumonia). The made histological sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin according to routine standard methods. The general histological structure and microstructural changes in histological preparations were studied under a light microscope. The histopathological examination were confirmed and specified the pathoanatomical diagnoses, established after autopsy of dead animals. It is shown that the most pronounced damage and characteristic changes all dead cats fixed contact in lung tissues and regional lymph nodes (mediastinal and bronchial), and in the spleen. The morphological criteria of chlamydial infection in the studied dead animals at the microscopic level were as follows:1) interstitial pneumonia; 2) pulmonary fibrosis; 3) fibrinous-purulent pleuropneumonia; 4) hyperplasia and serous lymphadenitis of the mediastinal and bronchial lymph nodes; 5) hyperplasia of lymphoid nodules of the spleen; 6) passive venous congestion of the liver and kidneys; 7) fatty and granular liver dystrophy. The results of our study, the pathomorphological diagnosis of chlamydial infection in most of the cats that died was based on changes characteristic of interstitial pneumonia followed pneumosclerosis or fibrinous-purulent pleuropneumonia, with deep affection of the bronchial epithelium. Consequently, the features of chlamydial infection are such that the clinical picture does not always correspond to the severity of morphological manifestations and complications of infection. Weak clinical manifestations can be combined with significant destructive, degenerative and necrotic changes in organs and tissues.
