An 8-month-old owned European cat showing abdominal pain, fever, distended painful bladder and urinary blockage was presented. Intravenous fluids were immediately administered and, after sedation, a urinary catheter was applied. Blood and urine analysis revealed cystitis and a moderate-to-severe degree of renal failure. About 20 thread-like nematodes, identified as Capillaria plica larvae and fragments of adult stages, were found in the urine sediment. After treatment with an oral formulation of fenbendazole at 25 mg/kg q 12 h for 10 days, urinary signs and bladder worms disappeared. Cases of Capillaria species bladder worms in cats are rarely reported and most infected cats show no clinical signs, presumably because of a low parasite burden. In the present study, feline capillariosis was associated to urethral obstruction, severe difficulties in urination, cystitis and renal failures.
一只8个月大的家养欧洲猫出现腹痛、发热、膀胱膨胀疼痛和尿路阻塞症状。立即进行静脉输液，并在镇静后插入导尿管。血液和尿液分析显示膀胱炎和中度至重度肾衰竭。在尿液沉淀物中发现约20条线状线虫，鉴定为猫毛细线虫幼虫和成虫阶段的碎片。用25mg/kg的芬苯达唑口服制剂，每12小时一次，治疗10天后，尿路症状和膀胱蠕虫消失。猫毛细线虫属膀胱蠕虫感染的病例很少报道，大多数感染猫没有临床症状，可能是因为寄生虫负荷较低。在本研究中，猫毛细线虫病与尿道阻塞、排尿严重困难、膀胱炎和肾衰竭有关。
