犬血丝虫病诊疗病例

Case for Diagnosis and Treatment of Canine Blood Filariasis

摘要:

犬血丝虫病是由犬血丝虫寄生于犬类动物右心室或肺动脉引起的犬类动物的一种重要的寄生虫病，以循环障碍、呼吸困难、贫血为主要特征。犬血丝虫又叫犬心丝虫或犬恶丝虫，犬为其终末宿主，蚊、蚤等吸血昆虫是中间宿主。当寄生的虫体影响心脏器质功能（比如三尖瓣或肺动脉瓣功能不全）时，患犬会出现呼吸困难、胸腹水、下体浮肿等较为严重的临床症状，甚至发生急性死亡。诊断本病以外周血中查到犬血丝虫的幼虫微丝蚴为主。治疗本病则以驱虫为主，补血、输液等对症治疗作为辅助措施。
