Türkiye'de köpeklerde Babesia canis canis'in klinik ve parazitolojik olarak ilk tespiti

Bu makalede, Giemsa boyama ve Polimeraz Zincir Reaksiyonu (PZR) yöntemleri ile parazitolojik olarak Babesia canis canis tanısı konulan 3 köpekte klinik, biyokimyasal ve hematolojik bulgularının sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Olgu I ve IIde şiddetli ikterus, anemi, hemoglobinemi, hemoglobinüri, trombositopeni, taşipne, taşikardi ve miyozitis ile karaciğerde hasar geliştiği tespit edildi. Olgu Ide bu bulgulara ek olarak kolesistitis, Olgu IIde ise renal hasarın oluştuğu saptandı. Olgu IIIte hafif anemi ve ikterus tablosuyla birlikte karaciğerde hasar ve miyozitis şekillendiği belirlendi. Tedavi sonucunda Olgu II ve IIIde iyileşme sağlanırken Olgu I öldü. Sonuç olarak, köpeklerde B. canis canis klinik ve parazitolojik olarak Türkiyede ilk kez bildirilmektedir.

First clinical and parasitological detection of Babesia canis canis in Dogs from Turkey

This study was aimed to describe clinical, biochemical and haemathological findings in three dogs with Babesia canis canis diagnosed by Giemsa staining and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) methods. In Case I and II severe icterus, anemia, haemoglobinemia, haemoglobinuria, thrombocytopenia, tachypnea, tachycardia, liver damage and myositis were determined. In addition in Case I cholecystitis and in Case II renal damage were developed. In Case III mild anemia and icterus along with liver damage and myositis were developed and clinical signs were mild. Following treatment Case II and III completely recovered while Case I died. In conclusion, B. canis canis has been determined clinically and parasitologically for first time in Turkey.
