“…Results of a 4Dx SNAP test, all serologic tests, and urine Histoplasma antigen were negative, and itraconazole was discontinued after 3 days. The dog was discharged on TMS at the recommended dosage of 30 mg/kg PO q12h, 10 and prednisone was tapered.…”

Sibling female and male Chihuahuas were evaluated for a 9-month history of tachypnea that failed to respond to fenbendazole, doxycycline, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and prednisone. Physical examination identified tachypnea, hyperpnea, and harsh bronchovesicular lung sounds. Fundic examination disclosed diffuse chorioretinitis, manifested as multifocal chorioretinal granulomas in the female dog and occasional chorioretinal scars in the male dog. Thoracic radiographs indicated moderate to severe interstitial to bronchointerstitial infiltrates in both dogs. Serum and urine antigen and antibody testing in the female dog failed to identify infectious agents, but cytologic assessment of hepatic lymph node, liver, and splenic aspirates identified Pneumocystis trophozoites. Infection was confirmed in both dogs by 28S rRNA PCR sequencing from multiple tissue samples.The female dog responded well to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, but the male dog was euthanized because of liver failure, presumably related to antimicrobial treatment.

“…In another paper, David, Murthy et al (2020) show that because Scientific studies addressing the potential risks of animal to human transmission of pathogens in the healthcare setting are limited in number and, because animals have generally been excluded from hospitals, the experience gained to date has been mainly from case reports and outbreak investigations. Lobetti (2007) and Alves (2020), for instance, argue the case of the viral diseases of dogs. I am aware that this is a touchy subject that must be further analysed, not only in a short opinion article, but also by interested members of the public, sociologists, psychologists and in particular, by parasitologists and infectologists, due to the risks involved in this practice.…”

This paper argues the risks of the humanization programs in hospitals which allow visits by pets. The issue of hospital-acquired infections and the risks posed by the introduction of parasites, including viruses, bacteria and helminths, is here discussed. We highlight the difficulties inherent to the implementation of guidelines to prevent infections in the nosocomial environmentKEY WORDS: Hospitals; infections; humanization; pets.
