To describe the rapid diagnosis, treatment, and clinical course of a dog that ingested an amanitin-containing mushroom.
A 2-month-old female intact Australian Shepherd presented with diarrhea and vomiting, along with a possible mushroom exposure. Upon presentation, the dog's urine was collected and tested positive by a point-of-care rapid diagnostic test specific for detecting amanitins, the causative agents of amatoxicosis.
This is the first reported case of amatoxicosis that was diagnosed using a point-of-care test prior to starting treatment. An early diagnosis helps to guide early treatment decisions in this frequently fatal toxicosis.
描述一只摄入含鹅膏毒素蘑菇的犬的快速诊断、治疗及临床病程。
一只2月龄未绝育的雌性澳大利亚牧羊犬出现腹泻和呕吐，可能接触过蘑菇。就诊时，采集了该犬的尿液，通过一种用于检测鹅膏毒素（鹅膏中毒的致病因子）的即时快速诊断检测呈阳性。
这是首例在开始治疗前通过即时检测诊断出鹅膏中毒的病例。早期诊断有助于指导这种常致命的中毒的早期治疗决策。
