The purpose of the study was to investigate post-mortem changes in dogs infected with and to establish the probable cause of death of the affected animals.
Cadavers of six dogs that did not survive babesiosis were collected. Necropsies were performed and samples of various organs were collected for histological examination.
Necropsies and histological examinations revealed congestion and oedemata in various organs. Most of the dogs had ascites, hydrothorax or hydropericardium, pulmonary oedema, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, and cerebral congestion, and necrosis of cardiomyocytes.
These results suggested disorders in blood circulation as the most probable cause of death. However, the pulmonary inflammatory response and cerebral babesiosis observed in some of these dogs could also be considered possible causes of death. This study also showed a possible role for renal congestion in the development of renal hypoxia and azotaemia in canine babesiosis.
本研究的目的是调查感染巴贝斯虫病的犬只的死后变化,并确定受影响动物的可能死因。
收集了六只未从巴贝斯虫病中存活下来的犬只的尸体。进行了尸检,并采集了各种器官的样本进行组织学检查。
尸检和组织学检查显示各器官有充血和水肿。大多数犬只有腹水、胸腔积液或心包积液、肺水肿、肺、肾、肝和脑充血以及心肌细胞坏死。
这些结果表明血液循环紊乱是最可能的死因。然而,在其中一些犬只中观察到的肺部炎症反应和脑巴贝斯虫病也可被视为可能的死因。本研究还表明肾充血在犬巴贝斯虫病肾缺氧和氮血症的发展中可能起作用。
