Retrospective study of fever in dogs: laboratory testing, diagnoses and influence of prior treatment

Abstract: This study documents a high incidence of immune-mediated disease in dogs referred for investigation of fever. It also documents a higher incidence of inflammatory central nervous system disease in febrile dogs than that reported previously. Of the diagnostic modalities employed in the majority of cases, radiography, cytology and bacteriological and fungal cultures (fluids/tissues) were the most useful. It is suggested that treatment is withdrawn or withheld before commencing diagnostic investigation of fever.

“…The data of the blood examinations obtained on the day of diagnosis were used for analysis. Body temperature was measured via the rectum, and a temperature higher than 39.7°C was considered to indicate pyrexia [1]. WBC counts were obtained using an automatic analyzer (Hematology Analyzer Ac-T diff, Beckman Coulter, CA) and were considered high when the value exceeded 17,500/µl.…”

“…Ο ορισμός αυτός είναι μάλλον α δόκιμος, ενώ σε σχετική βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση για το σκΰλο και τη γάτα, ο ορισμός που χρησιμοποι ήθηκε για τον ΠΑΠ ταυτίζεται με τον τρίτο ορισμό που αναφέρεται στον άνθρωπο (Lunn 2001). Σε πρό σφατη αναδρομική μελέτη, ως ΠΑΠ θεωρήθηκε ο πυ ρετός που δεν υποχώρησε με την αντιμικροβιακή α γωγή και το αίτιο του δεν διευκρινίστηκε με τη συνήθη διαγνωστική διερεύνηση (Battersby et al 2006). Ο ο ρισμός αυτός κατά τη γνώμη μας ταιριάζει περισσό τερο στην κτηνιατρική πράξη.…”
