ABSTRACT

The objective of the present study was to correlate ophthalmic and haematological findings, compared with the serological data obtained by indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFATT) and by dot-blot linked immunoassay (DBELIA) in 51 dogs with uveitis due to possible ehrlichiosis infection. Thirty-four positive IFAT and forty-four positive DBELIA results were obtained in serum samples.The high correlation between uveitis and a positive serology for Ehrlichia canis was established. The DBELIA test was moresensitive for the diagnosis of ehrlichiosis than IFAT.


O objetivo do presente trabalho foi correlacionar os achados oftálmicos e hematológicos, comparados aos dados sorológicos obtidos por meio da reação de imunofluorescência indireta (RIFI) e dot-blot ELISA (DBELIA) de 51 cães com uveíte, possivelmente devido a erliquiose. Trinta e quatro soros sangüíneos foram positivos pela RIFAT e quarenta e quatro pelo DBELIA. Foi estabelecida uma alta correlação entre uveíte e sorologia positiva para a Ehrlichia canis. O DBELIA foi mais sensível para o diagnóstico da erliquiose comparativamente a RIFI.
