What the FDA AER plate says about Purulent lesion(s)

Signature read: 44 death-coded reports is a heavy tail count for Purulent lesion(s) in the CVM extract. Report volume is upper-third scale: 353 named reports in the openFDA extract. 44 of 353 reports were death-coded (12.5% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Increased weight (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (295). Lead co-reported drug Carprofen (50).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Carprofen appears in filings alongside this reaction; that is association, not causation. Browse the full reactions index or the about page for how PlainBreed frames FDA CVM extracts.
