Haemobartonellosis, kedilerde şiddetli hemolitik anemiyle seyreden bir hastalıktır. Haemobartonella felis olarak bilinen hastalık etkeninin günümüzde yapılan sınıflandırma çalışmaları sonucunda Mycoplasma haemofelis olarak adlandırılmasına karar verilmiştir. Son yıllarda enfeksiyonun ülkemizdeki görülme sıklığı artmıştır. Trombosit indeksleri, veteriner hekimliği alanında yeni kullanılmaya başlanan parametreler olduğundan, kedi ve köpek pratiğinde bu konu ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaların artmasının faydalı olabileceği öngörülmüştür. Bu doğrultuda, 25 sağlıklı kedi ve mikroskobik inceleme sonucunda Mycoplasma spp. teşhisi konulan 25 hasta kedinin trombosit sayısı (PLT) ve indeksleri (MPV, PCT) retrospektif olarak incelenerek karşılaştırılmıştır. Trombosit sayısı ve indekslerinin teşhis ve prognoz konusunda anlamlı olup olamayacağının incelenmesi amacıyla yürütülen bu çalışmanın sonucunda; trombosit sayısı (PLT) ve trombosit indekslerinden trombositokrit (PCT), hasta hayvanlarda sağlıklı hayvanlara göre düşük, trombosit hacmi (MPV) ise yüksek ölçülmüştür (P<0.001). Çalışma sonucuna göre trombosit indekslerinin, Mycoplasma spp.ile enfekte olan kedilerde tanı ve prognoza yönelik potansiyel bir değere sahip olabileceği ve konu ile ilgili gelecekte geniş kapsamlı çalışmaların yapılmasının veteriner hekimliğine katkı sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Haemobartonellosis is a disease that is accompanied by severe hemolytic anemia in cats. As a result of today's classification studies of the disease agent known as Haemobartonella felis, it has been decided to name it Mycoplasma haemofelis. In recent years, the incidence of infection in our country has increased. Since platelet indices are parameters that have just begun to be used in the field of veterinary medicine, it was predicted that more studies on this subject in cat and dog practice would be beneficial.In this direction, the platelet count (PLT) and indices (MPV, PCT) of 25 healthy cats and 25 sick cats diagnosed with Mycoplasma spp. as a result of microscopic examination were retrospectively analyzed and compared. As a result of this study, which was carried out to examine whether platelet count and indices could be meaningful in diagnosis and prognosis; Platelet count (PLT) and thrombocyte indices (PCT) were lower in sick animals than healthy animals, and platelet volume (MPV) was higher (P<0.001). According to the results of the study, it is thought that thrombocyte indices may have a potential value for diagnosis and prognosis in cats infected with Mycoplasma spp. and that conducting wide-ranging studies on the subject in the future may contribute to veterinary medicine.
