Chronic active hepatitis was diagnosed in five American Foxhounds from one kennel. Spirochetes were demonstrated in the liver in four of the dogs. A rising titer to Leptospira interrogans serovar grippotyphosa was found in the fifth dog, although spirochetes were not demonstrated in tissues. A serologic survey at the kennel revealed evidence of exposure of 6 of 13 dogs to grippotyphosa. This is the first report of an association between chronic active hepatitis leptospiral infection in any species.
在一个犬舍的五只美国猎狐犬中诊断出慢性活动性肝炎。在其中四只犬的肝脏中发现了螺旋体。尽管在组织中未发现螺旋体，但在第五只犬中发现了针对黄疸出血型钩端螺旋体血清型的滴度上升。在该犬舍进行的血清学调查显示，13只犬中有6只接触过黄疸出血型钩端螺旋体。这是关于任何物种的慢性活动性肝炎与钩端螺旋体感染之间关联的首次报告。
