Abstract

This report presents a case of parasitism by the renal worm Dioctophyme renale, diagnosed in the right kidney of a domestic dog. An adult female dog, mixed breed, was initially treated for a snakebite. After ultrasound, a significant number of Dioctophyme renale parasites were observed in the right kidney (R.K). The urine test revealed a significant number of Dioctophyme renale eggs without any other abnormalities. A nephrectomy was successfully performed, and the dog showed an excellent recovery after surgery. In most cases, parasitism by D. renale in domestic dogs is discovered by chance or only during necropsy. The objective of this study is to report the first case of parasitism by D. renale in the Três Corações region, in which the diagnosis and treatment were performed promptly, allowing the dog to recover completely.

病例报告：犬肾性双足藓的临床和手术治疗

本报告报告了一例肾双足虫的寄生虫病，诊断为一只家养狗的右肾。一只成年母狗，混血，最初因蛇咬伤而接受治疗。超声检查发现右肾（R.K）内有大量肾双足蝇寄生虫。尿检结果显示有大量的肾双足蛛卵，但没有其他异常。我们成功地进行了肾切除术，这只狗在手术后恢复得很好。在大多数情况下，在家养狗身上的renale疟原虫是偶然发现的，或者只有在尸检时才发现。本研究的目的是报告Três Corações地区第一例肾性d.r enale寄生虫病，在及时诊断和治疗的情况下，使狗完全康复。

期刊介绍： Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports focuses on aspects of veterinary parasitology that are of regional concern, which is especially important in this era of climate change and the rapid and often unconstrained travel of people and animals. Relative to regions, this journal will accept papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites within the field of veterinary medicine. Also, case reports will be considered as they add to information related to local disease and its control; such papers must be concise and represent appropriate medical intervention. Papers on veterinary parasitology from wildlife species are acceptable, but only if they relate to the practice of veterinary medicine. Studies on vector-borne bacterial and viral agents are suitable, but only if the paper deals with vector transmission of these organisms to domesticated animals. Studies dealing with parasite control by means of natural products, both in vivo and in vitro, are more suited for one of the many journals that now specialize in papers of this type. However, due to the regional nature of much of this research, submissions may be considered based upon a case being made by the author(s) to the Editor. Circumstances relating to animal experimentation must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (obtainable from: Executive Secretary C.I.O.M.S., c/o W.H.O., Via Appia, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland).
