This study aims to report the clinical signs, therapeutic strategy, necropsy results, and histopathological findings of airsacculitis caused by enterobacteria and the occurrence of eggs from the superfamily Diplotriaenoidea in the feces of in the Amazon biome. A tropical screech owl nestling was rescued and admitted for hand-rearing. The animal was kept hospitalized for five months. It was fed a diet based on larvae and thawed chicken breast meat with vitamin and mineral supplements. On the 37th day of hacking training for release, the owl showed weakness, lack of appetite, regurgitation, cachexia, dyspnea, ruffled feathers, dry droppings in the vent and pericloaca, and diarrhea. The parasitological examination showed eggs of the Diplotriaenoidea superfamily in the feces. The therapy employed included oxytetracycline, sulfamethoxazole, mebendazole, Potenay, sodium chloride 0.9%, and Mercepton. However, five days after starting the treatment, the bird died. Upon necropsy, prominence of the keel, pieces of undigested food in the oral cavity and proventriculus, intestinal gas, and thickened and turbid air sacs were found. The microbiological analysis of air sacs identified , , and . Histopathological examination showed heterophilic bacterial airsacculitis.
本研究旨在报告由肠杆菌引起的气囊炎的临床症状、治疗策略、尸检结果和组织病理学发现，以及在亚马逊生物群落中粪便中双腔科超科虫卵的出现情况。一只热带鸣角鸮雏鸟被救助并入院进行人工饲养。这只动物住院了五个月。它以幼虫和解冻鸡胸肉为食，并补充维生素和矿物质。在放飞的适应性训练第37天，这只猫头鹰出现虚弱、食欲不振、反流、恶病质、呼吸困难、羽毛竖起、泄殖腔和泄殖腔周围有干燥粪便以及腹泻症状。寄生虫学检查显示粪便中有双腔科超科的虫卵。所采用的治疗方法包括土霉素、磺胺甲恶唑、甲苯达唑、波泰奈、0.9%氯化钠和巯基嘌呤。然而，治疗开始五天后，这只鸟死亡。尸检时，发现龙骨突出、口腔和腺胃中有未消化的食物块、肠道积气以及气囊增厚和浑浊。气囊的微生物分析鉴定出了[具体细菌名称未给出]、[具体细菌名称未给出]和[具体细菌名称未给出]。组织病理学检查显示嗜异性细菌性气囊炎。
