Abstract

A 9-year-old dog was presented with weight loss, respiratory effort, and an enlarged abdomen. Imaging studies and exploratory surgery showed pulmonary and splenic masses and bi-cavitary effusion, later classified as hemorrhage. Cytology of the peritoneal and pleural fluids also revealed several microfilariae. Immunologic and molecular analyses confirmed Dirofilaria immitis infection and histopathology of the spleen indicated a cavernous endothelial proliferation with undefined etiology (hemangiosarcoma vs reaction to parasite infestation). The nematode larvae are speculated to have entered body cavities via erratic migration or via hemorrhage and visceral lesions to be related to parasitism. Nematode infection should be considered as a differential diagnosis for internal bleeding of undetermined origin.

线虫感染会导致狗内出血吗?一例腔液中的双鞭毛虫感染病例
一只 9 岁的狗狗因体重减轻、呼吸困难和腹部肿大而就诊。影像学检查和探查手术显示肺部和脾脏肿块以及双腔积液,后被归类为出血。腹腔液和胸腔液的细胞学检查也发现了一些微丝蚴。免疫学和分子分析证实了该患者感染了伊米丝虫,脾脏的组织病理学检查显示有海绵状内皮增生,病因不明(血管肉瘤与寄生虫感染反应)。据推测,线虫幼虫通过无规律的迁移或出血进入体腔,内脏病变与寄生有关。线虫感染应作为不明原因内出血的鉴别诊断。
