摘要
除了损害皮肤、引起炎症反应和贫血外,狗蜱虫还是血液寄生虫(如埃立克氏菌)的传播媒介,这种寄生虫被称为埃立克氏病。本文报告的病例是一只五岁大的雌性巴哥犬,它的身上布满了蜱虫。临床检查发现,脸部、耳朵、背部、腹部、腿部和趾间部位都有蜱虫。辅助检查包括全血细胞计数(CBC)、皮肤涂片和检测试剂盒。全血细胞计数检查显示,该犬白细胞增多、中性粒细胞增多、低色素性小细胞性贫血和血小板减少。水性涂片检查显示,该犬单核细胞的细胞质中存在埃希氏菌蜕膜,检测试剂盒的埃希氏菌抗体检测结果呈阳性;因此,该犬被确诊为埃希氏菌病。治疗方法是口服强力霉素、Intervetta Dr. Choice Ferro-B和扶芳易筋经,疗程为21天。治疗后,白细胞、中性粒细胞、红细胞和血小板的血液学参数恢复到正常范围。
Diagnosis and treatment of Ehrlichiosis in a Pug dog
In addition to damaging the skin and causing inflammatory reactions and anemia, dog tick infestations are vectors for blood parasites such as Ehrlichia spp., known as Ehrlichiosis. This article reports the case of a five-year-old female Pug dog whose body was covered with ticks. The clinical examination found tick infestation on the face, ears, back, abdomen, legs, and interdigital areas. Supporting examinations included a complete blood count (CBC), buffy coat smear, and a test kit. CBC examination showed that the dog had leukocytosis, neutrophilia, hypochromic microcytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. A buffy coat smear examination showed the presence of Ehrlichia morulae in the cytoplasm of the dog's monocytes, and the test kit results were positive for Ehrlichia antibodies; therefore, the dog was diagnosed with Ehrlichiosis. Treatment is done by administering Doxycycline, Intervetta Dr. Choice Ferro-B, and Fu Fang Ejiao Jiang orally for 21 days. After treatment, hematological parameters in leukocytes, neutrophils, erythrocytes, and platelets returned to normal ranges.
