Abstract

A 10-month-old dog was presented with clinical signs of fever, lethargy, inappetence, and cardiac arrhythmias. Computed tomography scan and cerebrospinal fluid analysis supported the diagnosis of steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis. Echocardiography, electrocardiogram, and elevated serum troponin I supported a diagnosis of myocarditis. The arrhythmias resolved during treatment of the primary neurological disease, and they were considered as secondary to the meningitis.

摘要

一只10个月大的犬出现发热、嗜睡、食欲不振和心律失常的临床症状。计算机断层扫描和脑脊液分析支持类固醇反应性脑膜炎-动脉炎的诊断。超声心动图、心电图和血清肌钙蛋白I升高支持心肌炎的诊断。心律失常在原发性神经疾病治疗期间得到缓解，被认为是脑膜炎的继发症状。
