Abstract

Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia was diagnosed by postmortem examination of a one-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with four-week history of dyspnea. Cytologic and histologic examination of lung tissues revealed numerous P. carinii trophozoites and cysts, and P. carinii specific DNA was detected by polymerase chain reaction. The dog showed hypogammagloblinemia and extremely low levels of serum IgG. It was considered that P. carinii pneumonia in this case was associated with an immunodeficient condition which has already been reported in Miniature Dachshunds.

摘要

通过对一只患有四周呼吸困难病史的一岁卡瓦利埃国王查尔斯猎犬进行尸检，诊断出卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎。对肺组织进行的细胞学和组织学检查发现了大量卡氏肺孢子虫滋养体和包囊，并通过聚合酶链反应检测到了卡氏肺孢子虫特异性DNA。这只狗表现出低丙种球蛋白血症和极低水平的血清IgG。据认为，该病例中的卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎与免疫缺陷状况有关，这种情况在迷你腊肠犬中已有报道。
