Abdominal Compartment Syndrome in a Babesia canis Infected Dog

Abstract

Canine Babesiosis, a tick borne protozoal disease characterized by acute hemolysis, fever, anorexia, depression, pale mucous membranes, splenomegaly and relevant clinical signs. Abdominal compartment syndrome is a condition caused by increased intra-abdominal pressure, that may cause progressive hypoperfusion and ischemia of the peritoneal and retroperitoneal structures. Even if the pressure remains for a long period, multiple organ failure and insufficiencies develop. Despite considerable research relevant to abdominal compartment syndrome in dogs, only 1 previous report was presented regarding this syndrome in dogs with Babesiosis. Therefore within presentation of this case the aim was to describe abdominal compartment syndrome in Babesia canis infected dog, within limited literature review.

Babesia canis ile Enfekte bir Köpekte Abdominal Kompartman Sendromu

Abstract

Babesiosis köpeklerde akut hemoliz, ateş, anoreksi, depresyon, mukoz membranlarda solgunluk, splenomegali ve benzeri klinik bulgularla seyreden kene ile bulaşan protozoer bir hastalıktır. Abdominal kompartman sendromu artmış olan intra abdominal basıncın peritoneal ve retroperitoneal dokularda progresif hipoperfüzyon ve işemiye neden olmasıdır. Basıncın yüksek seviyede uzun süre kalması ile multiple organda fonksiyon bozuklukları ile yetersizlikleri oluşmaktadır. Abdominal kompartman sendromu ile ilgili bazı araştırmalar mevcut olsa da Babesiosisle ile infekte yalnızca 1 köpekte bildirim bulunmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumu ile Babesia canis ile enfekte bir köpekte şekillenen abdominal kompartman sendromu ve başarı ile sağaltımı anlatılarak, sınırlı literatür derlemesi yapılmıştır.
