Abstract

During March 1990, a subadult raccoon found dead in northeastern Pennsylvania (USA) had gross lesions of multifocal hepatitis. Microscopically, multifocal randomly distributed areas of acute necrosis with intranuclear viral inclusions were seen in liver, spleen, adrenal glands, and tongue. Ultrastructural and immunoperoxidase results of formalin fixed liver were compatible with herpesvirus infection. This virus could be unique to the raccoon or may have been acquired from another species.
