Abstract

ABSTRACT A 2-year-old English bulldog presented history of recurrent lower urinary tract disease, refractory to treatment. The Complete Blood Count revealed lymphopenia, hyperproteinemia, and hyperglobulinemia, while urinalysis indicated leukocyturia and bacteriuria. On the abdominal ultrasound, the bladder had a focal wall thickening in its cranial portion, as well as irregular echogenicity and internal margins. A bladder surgical biopsy was performed, indicating the presence of follicular cystitis. Clinical signs disappeared after treatment with a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, NSAIDs, supplementation with cranberry extract associated with cat's claw (Uncaria tomentosa). Clinical follow-up 12 months after surgery showed remission at all clinical signs. Follicular cystitis in dogs was reported only once worldwide, this case report is the first in Brazil; thus, it may be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients with refractory and recurrent lower urinary tract disease.

犬毛囊性膀胱炎：巴西首例病例报告

摘要：一只2岁的英国斗牛犬有复发性下尿路疾病史，难以治疗。全血细胞计数显示淋巴细胞减少、高蛋白血症和高球蛋白血症，而尿液分析显示白细胞尿和细菌尿。在腹部超声检查中，膀胱的头部有局灶性壁增厚，回声和内缘不规则。进行了膀胱手术活检，表明存在滤泡性膀胱炎。阿莫西林和克拉维酸、非甾体抗炎药联合治疗后，临床症状消失，并补充与猫爪（毛钩藤）相关的蔓越莓提取物。术后12个月的临床随访显示，所有临床症状均得到缓解。全世界只报告过一次犬毛囊性膀胱炎，这是巴西首例；因此，它可用于难治性和复发性下尿路疾病的鉴别诊断。
