Signos clínicos presentados por perros positivos para leishmaniasis visceral en el municipio de Vassouras, Rio de Janeiro

Abstract: Atualmente, novos casos de leishmaniose visceral estão sendo relatados de forma significativa, como uma importante questão de saúde pública. Essa zoonose provocada pelo protozoário Leishmania spp., é transmitida principalmente pelo flebotomíneo Lutzomyia longipalpis acometendo diversas espécies de mamíferos, sendo o cão doméstico o principal mantenedor do agente em áreas urbanas. A inespecificidade de sinais clínicos, associada à elevada casuística na espécie promove difícil controle da transmissão, diagnóstic… Show more

“…Concerning the clinical aspects, among symptomatic dogs, classic clinical alterations of leishmaniasis such as alopecia, onychogryphosis, lymphadenomegaly, and ear tip lesions were observed (Moreira et al 2016 ; Contreras et al 2019 ; Azevedo and Marcili 2020 ; Pasanisi 2020 ). Furthermore, the ocular form of CanL was also observed in these dogs, in which changes such as periocular alopecia, blepharitis, keratitis, and conjunctivitis are among the most reported ophthalmic and clinical manifestations are consequences of systemic impairment caused by Leishmania, which involves direct mechanisms of tissue damage due to the presence of the parasite and specific cytotoxic immune responses.…”

“…Clinically, they may present in the most advanced stages onychoglyphosis, lymphadenomegaly, apathy, weight loss, eye damage, alopecia, and dermatitis. Otherwise, many animals can be asymptomatic, with an infection rate that can reach 80% in some places (Eguchi et al 2017 ; Contreras et al 2019 ). Additionally, as they are the main urban reservoirs for leishmaniasis and being some risk of transmission for humans, dogs have become the main targets of disease control actions in Brazil (Shang et al 2011 ; Nunes et al 2016 ).…”

“…alterações ofltálmicas; dermatite esfoliativa não pruriginosa, acometendo principalmente a região periocular, ponte nasal e borda dos pavilhões auriculares, podendo até mesmo ser difusa por todo o corpo; dermatite ulcerativa; onicogrifose; hepatomegalia; esplenomegalia; inflamação das margens das pálpebras; poliartrite neutrofílica; glomerulonefrite; alterações hepáticas, cardíacas e neurológicas, sendo essa última predominante em diversas estruturas, como o telencéfalo, tálamo e hipocampo (SILVA, 2020;COSTA et al, 2021;CONTRERAS et al, 2019;SANTOS et al, 2021).…”

“…Por se tratar de uma doença sistêmica, qualquer órgão, tecido ou fluido corporal pode estar envolvido, manifestando sinais clínicos inespecíficos (SOLANO-GALLEGO et al, 2011). Nos cães, é comum observar lesões cutâneas (alopecia, descamação, hiperqueratose nasal, úlceras e hiperpigmentação), anorexia, onicogrifose e alterações oftálmicas (KOUTINAS & KOUTINAS, 2014;CONTRERAS et al, 2019;ABBIATI et al, 2019).…”
