# 2002/106/EC: Commission Decision of 1 February 2002 approving a Diagnostic Manual establishing diagnostic procedures, sampling methods and criteria for evaluation of the laboratory tests for the confirmation of classical swine fever (Text with EEA relevance) (notified under document number C(2002) 381), Division 4

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

In general the acute form of African swine fever leads to a clinical and pathological picture very similar to that of classical swine fever. When present, haemorrhages on the skin and ears are quite easy to detect and lead to suspicion of acute African or classical swine fever. Few other diseases cause similar lesions.
Acute classical swine fever must also be considered in case of suspected erysipelas, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, coumarin poisoning, purpura haemorragica, post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome, porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome, salmonella or Pasteurella infections or any enteric or respiratory syndromes with fever which do not respond to antibiotic treatment.
