Bir köşekte (C. dromedarius) nutrisyonel kardiyomiyopati

Bu çalışmada Türkiye'de ilk kez 1.5 aylık dişi bir köşekte (deve yavrusu) (C. dromedarius) nutrisyonel kardiyomiyopati olgusunun makroskobik ve mikroskobik bulguları tanımlandı. Konya ili, Karatay İlçe Belediyesi, Hayvanat Bahçesi'nde ölü olarak bulunan deve yavrusunun nekropsisinde, sol epikardda daha belirgin olmak üzere her iki ventrikül ile interventriküler septumda solgun, beyazımsı renkte alanlara rastlandı. Akciğerler oldukça hacimli ve koyu kırmızı renkte, trake ve bronşlarda köpüklü sıvı vardı. Mediastinal ve bron- şiyal lenf düğümlerinde büyüme, karaciğerde konjesyon ve tiroid bezinde büyüme gözlendi. Mikroskobik incelemede kalp kasında, hiyalin dejenerasyonu, zenker nekrozu ve yaygın kalsifikasyon, akciğerde konjesyon ile alveollerde yaygın ödem vardı. Karaciğerde hafif hiperemi, bağırsaklarda lamina epitelyaliste dejenerasyon ve deskuamasyon, propriyada nötrofil ve eozinofil granülosit infiltrasyonu gözlendi. Tiroid folliküllerinin epitellerinde hiperplaziye bağlı papiller uzantılar dikkati çekti. Bu bulgular ışığında deve yavrusunda ve/ veya annesindeki beslenme yetersizliği sonucunda beyaz kas hastalığı ve buna bağlı akciğerde dolaşım bozukluğu şekillendiği kanaatine varılarak, özellikle hayvanat bahçeleri gibi kapalı ortamlarda bakılan hayvanlara ilave vitamin ve mineral takviyesi yapılmasının uygun olacağı önerilmiştir.

Nutritional cardiomyopathy in a young camel (C.dromedarius).

In this report, macroscopical and microscopical findings of nutritional cardiomyopathy were firstly described in a 1.5 month old female calf-camel in Turkey. At the necropsy of the young camel, which was found as dead in Konya Karatay Municipality Zoo, pale, whitish colored areas were seen on the epicardium of heart ventricules and interventricular septum. The pale areas were more prominent in the left heart ventricle. Lung was fairly volumed and dark reddish colored, and there was foamy fluid in trachea and bronchi. Mediastinal and bronchial lymph nodes were enlarged, and cut surfaces were dark red colored. Congestion in the liver and enlargement in thyroid glands were also observed. In microscopical examination of the heart muscle, hyaline degeneration, Zenker's necrosis and widespread calcification were determined. In lung, diffuse congestion and edema in alveoli were found. Mild hyperemia in sinusoids of the liver, degeneration and desquamation of lamina epithelialis, neutrophil and eosinophil granulocyte infiltration in lamina propria in small intestine were noticed too. Papillary extensions in epithelium of thyroid follicles due to epithelial hyperplasia were observed. It was concluded from these findings that inadequate nutrition probably caused white muscle disease, resulting in blood circulation disorder in lungs, in the young camel. So, it is advisable to have a vitamin and mineral supplement to animal especially within the enclosed areas like zoos.
