İki ceylanda (Gazella subgutturosa) görülen parazitik pnömoni ve Trueperella pyogenes ve Candida albicans ile ilişkili nekrotik-purulent bronkopnömoni

Bu çalışmada, ceylanda (Gazella subgutturosa) Trueperella pyogenes ve Candida albicans'la ilişkili nekrotik-purulent bronkopnömoni ve parasitik pnömoninin makroskobik, histopatolojik ve bakteriyolojik bulgularını sunulmaktadır. Şanlıurfa Kızılkuyu Yaban Hayatı Koruma Alanı'nda ölü bulunan 2 erkek ceylan; nekropsi için Harran Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Patoloji Anabilim Dalı'na getirildi. Nekropside, akciğerde 1-1,5 cm çapında, beyazımsı renkte, yumuşak kıvamda odaklar görüldü. Odakların kesik yüzünde krema kıvamlı eksudat bulunmaktaydı. Bazı bronşların lümeninde yetişkin parazit ve pıhtılaşmış kana rastlandı. Mikroskobik incelemede, akciğerde nekrotik-purulent bronkopnömoni odakları ve mantar hifaları görüldü. Bazı bronşların lümeninde parazitlere rastlandı. Bakteriyolojik incelemede, T. pyogenes ve Candida albicans ana patojen olarak izole edildi. Bu, ceylanlarda (Gazella subgutturosa) T. pyogenes ve Candida albicans'ın neden olduğu nekrotik-purulent bronkopnömoni ile parazitik pnömoninin birlikte sunulduğu ilk rapordur.

Parasitic pneumonia and necrotic-purulent bronchopneumonia associated with Trueperella pyogenes and Candida albicans observed in two gazelles (Gazella subgutturosa)

This case report presents the macroscopical, histopathological and bacteriological findings of Trueperella pyogenes and Candida albicans associated necrotic-purulent bronchopneumonia and parasitic pneumonia observed in two captive, adult gazelles (Gazella subgutturosa). Two male gazelles were found dead in the Sanliurfa Kızılkuyu Wildlife Reserve Area and were brought to the University of Harran, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Pathology for necropsy. At necropsy multifocal foci of 1-1,5 cm in diameter, whitish color and soft consistency were detected on all lobes of the lung. Creamy exudate was observed at the cut section of the foci. Adult parasites and coagulated blood were observed in the lumen of some of the bronchi. In the microscopical examination, foci of necrotic-purulent bronchopneumonia and fungal hyphae were seen within these necrotic areas. The parasites were encountered in the lumen of some of the bronchioles. In the bacteriological examination, Trueperella pyogenes and Candida albicans were isolated as the major pathogens. This is the first report of parasitic pneumonia and necrotic-purulent bronchopneumonia caused by Trueperella pyogenes and Candida albicans in gazelles.
