Abstract

A 10-month-old lurcher with history of recurrent skin problems, presented with tachypnoea which had progressively become severe. Investigations included haematology, serum biochemistry, blood coagulation profile, diagnostic imaging, bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Cytological evaluation of the BAL revealed the presence of Pneumocystis cysts. The patient was euthanased on humane grounds prior to treatment against Pneumocystosis. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of Pneumocystosis in a lurcher puppy.

摘要

一只10个月大的格力犬，有反复出现皮肤问题的病史，出现了逐渐加重的呼吸急促症状。检查包括血液学、血清生化、凝血指标、诊断性影像学、支气管镜检查和支气管肺泡灌洗（BAL）。BAL的细胞学评估显示存在肺孢子虫囊肿。在针对肺孢子虫病进行治疗之前，出于人道考虑对该患者实施了安乐死。据我们所知，这是首例格力幼犬患肺孢子虫病的病例。
