Four types are distinguished: the respiratory type (fever, dyspnea, copious fluid discharge, and usually a fatal inhalation pneumonia), the cardiac type (edema of the head with widespread petechiae, often but not always fatal), the mixed cardiac and respiratory type, and a mild type called horse sickness fever. Called also pestis equorum and equine plague.
