  "text": "In general the acute form of classical swine fever leads to a clinical and pathological picture very similar to that of African swine fever. When present, haemorrhages on the skin and ears are quite easy to detect and lead to suspicion of acute classical or African swine fever. Few other diseases cause similar lesions.\nAcute African swine fever must also be considered in cases 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.",
