During post-mortem examination of lungs and heart of a 7-month-old female French bulldog, 158 worms were collected from the lung vessels and they proved Angiostrongylus vasorum by their morphological and genetic identification by PCR. The histopathological investigation found a multifocal interstitial inflammation characterized by numerous lymphocytes and a smaller number of plasma cells and eosinophils whilst L1 stage larvae could be seen inside dilated alveoli. We suggested a lethal angiostrongylosis supposed to lead to a fatal effect. Our report attracts attention to the presence of the nematode A. vasorum as causative agent of canine cardiopulmonary disorder in the south-western region of Hungary.
在对一只7个月大的法国斗牛犬母犬的肺和心脏进行尸检时，从肺血管中收集到158条蠕虫，通过形态学和PCR基因鉴定，它们被证实为血管圆线虫。组织病理学检查发现多灶性间质性炎症，其特征为大量淋巴细胞以及少量浆细胞和嗜酸性粒细胞，同时在扩张的肺泡内可见L1期幼虫。我们认为这是一种致命的血管圆线虫病，可能导致致命后果。我们的报告提请注意在匈牙利西南部地区，线虫血管圆线虫作为犬心肺疾病病原体的存在。
