A young adult male domestic shorthair cat was presented for physical examination, routine vaccinations, and a fecal examination. Physical examination revealed no significant abnormalities. Eggs of the raccoon pancreatic fluke Eurytrema procyonis were detected by fecal flotation. Results of a complete blood count and serum biochemistry panel were normal. Abdominal sonography revealed an enlarged hypoechoic pancreas with a hyperechoic rim, and a distended and thickened pancreatic duct. Serum pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (PLI) was increased. These findings supported the possibility of fluke-associated pancreatitis. Treatment with praziquantel/pyrantel/febantel was associated with resolution of sonographic abnormalities and normalization of PLI.
一只年轻成年雄性家养短毛猫前来接受体格检查、常规疫苗接种和粪便检查。体格检查未发现明显异常。通过粪便漂浮法检测到浣熊胰吸虫(Eurytrema procyonis)的虫卵。全血细胞计数和血清生化指标结果正常。腹部超声检查显示胰腺肿大,回声减低,边缘回声增强,胰管扩张且增厚。血清胰脂肪酶免疫反应性(PLI)升高。这些发现支持了吸虫相关性胰腺炎的可能性。使用吡喹酮/噻嘧啶/非班太尔治疗后,超声异常消失,PLI恢复正常。
