Caracterização clínica e epidemiológica da esporotricose em cães e gatos (São Paulo, Brasil) / Clinical and epidemiological characterization of sporotrichosis in dogs and cats (São Paulo, Brazil)

O presente estudo caracterizou retrospectivamente a esporotricose canina e feline em machos e fêmeas de distintas idades. Os pacientes foram atendidos no Serviço de Dermatologia de um hospitalveterinário escola e o diagnostic foi confirmado pelo isolamento e identificação de Sporothrix spp em meio de cultura. Foram obtidas e analizadas as fichas clínicas de um período de 19 anos (1993-2011). Da casuística avaliada, 37 animais foram considerados para o estudo, incluindo 8 (21,6%) cães e 29 (78,4%) gatos. Os pacientes foram na sua maioria machos (30/37-86,5%) com media de idade de 79,5 meses entre os caninos e 36,3 meses dentre os felinos, sendo a maioria dos pacientes sem precisa definição racial (25/37-67,6%). A forma tegumentar localizada da enfermidade foi a mais prevalente (25/37-67,6%), sendo que na totalidade dos casos o diagnóstico histopatológico apresentou-se positivo. Em relação aos gatos esporotricóticos, observou-se infecção em animais e/ou humanos que com eles coabitavam em 17/37 (45,9%) dos casos. Já dentre os cães, nenhum pareceu disseminar a infecção, uma vez que não foram observados sinais clinicos compatíveis com a enfermidade nos seus contactantes. A esporotricose foi mais prevalente em felinos machos, sem precisa definição racial e, na sua maioria, com apresentação clínica compatível com a forma cutânea localizada da doença.

The present study retrospectively characterized canine and feline sporotrichosis in male and female individuals of various ages. The patients had been attended at the Dermatology Service of a university veterinary hospital and the diagnosis had been confirmed by isolation and identification of Sporothrix spp in culture media. The study obtained and analyzed medical records from a period of 19 years (1993- 2011). From the evaluated sample, 37 animals were considered for the study, including eight (21.6%) dogs and 29 (78.4%) cats. The patients were mostly male (30/37-86.5%) and had mean ages of 79.5 months for dogs and 36.3 months for cats. Most of the patients had no defined breed (25/37-67.6%). The localized cutaneous form of the disease was most prevalent (25/37-67.6%), and all cases presented positive histopathological diagnoses. Among the cats with sporotrichosis, infection was also observed in animals and/or humans that lived with these cats in 17/37 (45.9%) cases. However, none of the affected dogs appeared to spread the infection, as there were no clinical signs that were consistent with the disease. Sporotrichosis was most prevalent among male mixed-breed cats, most of which had a clinical presentation that was consistent with the localized cutaneous form of the disease. In the studied sample, cats constituted an important source of infection for animals and humans livi

Retrospective assessment of the treatment of sporotrichosis in cats and dogs using itraconazole / Retrospective assessment of the treatment of sporotrichosis in cats and dogs using itraconazole

Background: Cases of sporotrichosis in male and female cats and dogs of different ages with cutaneous sporotrichosis that were treated at the dermatology service of a teaching veterinary hospital and orally administered itraconazole (ITC) were retrospectively characterized by reviewing the clinical records corresponding to a 19-year period (1993-2011). The aim of the present study was to analyze regarding clinical cure, side effects, length of treatment and relapse using ITC in the treatment of cutaneous sporotrichosis in cats and dogs. Materials, Methods & Results: From the assessed case series, 20 animals were selected, of which 17 (85.0%) were cats and three (15.0%) were dogs; the animals were mostly males (80.0%) and of ill-defined breeds (75.0%). Cases of sporotrichosis in male and female cats and dogs of different ages that were treated at the dermatology service of a teaching veterinary hospital and orally administered ITC (10 mg/kg) once a day. The percentage of full remission of the treated cases, regardless of their clinical form, was 100%, and no systemic or tegumentary side effects were found in the assessed animals. The average duration of treatment was 3.4 months in cats and 11.3 months in dogs, whereas the maximum duration of treatment required to resolve the clinical condition in the assessed case series of cats and dogs was 16 months, regardless of the anim

Estado neurológico e cardiorrespiratório de filhotes de cães nascidos de parto normal ou de cesariana sob anestesia geral inalatória com sevofluorano

The obstetric anesthesia must be safe for mother and puppies and about this, the literature is pour. This study was aimed at evaluating the neurological, hemodinamic and respiratory changes in neonates provoked by the anestesic agent as a result of normal parturition and cesarean section employing sevoflurane as the maintenance agent. Six deliveries (GN) and six cesarean sections (GC) were performed. The cesarean sections were performed under general anesthesia using acepromazina maleate, propofol and sevoflurane. Thirty six puppies were evaluated and the neurologic reflexes were worse in that were born through cesarean section. However, we concluded that despite the anesthetic depression, the protocol employed didn,t affect in any important way the viability and health of the mothers and puppies, being suitable for cesarean sections.

A anestesia obstétrica possibilita um procedimento mais seguro para a mãe e para os fetos. Em medicina veterinária, no entanto, a literatura científica a respeito do assunto é deficiente. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o grau de depressão neurológica, hemodinâmica e respiratória fetais provocado pelo agente anestésico, em que as mães foram submetidas ao parto normal ou à cesariana, utilizando-se sevofluorano como agente de manutenção anestésica, comparando-o com o parto normal. Foram realizados seis partos normais (GN) e seis cesarianas (GC), avaliando-se um total de 36 filhotes. As cesarianas foram realizadas utilizando-se acepromazina, propofol e sevofluorano (GC) e os neonatos foram avaliados clinicamente ao primeiro, quinto e décimo minuto de nascimento, nos dois grupos. Observou-se maior depressão respiratória nos filhotes nascidos de cesariana. Contudo, apesar dessa depressão, o protocolo anestésico empregado não comprometeu de maneira importante a viabilidade e a saúde das mães e dos filhotes, demonstrando ser seguro em cadelas gestantes.
