BACKGROUND
Opisthorchis felineus is a feline pathogen with zoonotic potential that can be a causative agent of human opisthorchiasis and cholangiocarcinoma. In Europe, O. felineus is particularly endemic in Eastern European countries, while this parasite has also been sporadically detected in Germany, Italy and northern Poland. Parts of Asia, such as Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, are also affected.
METHODS
A 7-year-old female neutered European Shorthair cat, without any traveling history, presented in May 2023 with weight loss, anorexia and vomiting.
RESULTS
The cat showed increased liver enzyme activities, hyperbilirubinemia and hyperammonemia consistent with the suspected diagnosis of cholangitis with consecutive hepatoencephalopathy. Eggs of O. felineus were detected by routine cytological examination of bile smears and PCR confirmed O. felineus.
CONCLUSIONS
This is the first report of autochthonous O. felineus infection in Austria.
背景
猫后睾吸虫是一种具有人畜共患病潜力的猫病原体，可成为人类后睾吸虫病和胆管癌的病原体。在欧洲，猫后睾吸虫在东欧国家尤为流行，而在德国、意大利和波兰北部也偶尔检测到这种寄生虫。亚洲部分地区，如俄罗斯、乌克兰和哈萨克斯坦也受到影响。
方法
一只7岁绝育的欧洲短毛母猫，无任何旅行史，于2023年5月出现体重减轻、厌食和呕吐症状。
结果
该猫表现出肝酶活性升高、高胆红素血症和高氨血症，符合疑似胆管炎伴连续性肝性脑病的诊断。通过胆汁涂片的常规细胞学检查检测到猫后睾吸虫卵，PCR证实为猫后睾吸虫。
结论
这是奥地利本土猫后睾吸虫感染的首例报告。
