Derniatomycosis is a very important long-term disease. Different drugs are used for cure by local and/or oral way. Especially the patients prefer oral antimycotics as griseofulvin, ketoconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine because of the disease's zoonotic characteristic and long-term asking cure. Because of these drugs' hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic influences, researches for new ones are developed. Some vaccinations only used experimentally are also preferred in veterinary medicine. In this study, it is aimed to examine the immunotherapeutic effect of Biocan-M (Micanfin@) vaccination.The case of our study was a 1 year old female Persan race cat. Alopecia was present in the caudal, cranial, thoracal and pectoral areas. In the anamnesis, we learned that diffuse alopecia was present and no success was obtained at the end of a 2 weeks period cure with oral antimycotic use 3 weeks before. Dermatological samples were obtained from alopecic areas in order to prepare samples with KOH (5%) in which microscopically spores were seen around the hair shaft. In culture on Sabouraud glucose agar at 25°C Microsporunz canis could be identified. Before the treatment, haemogram parameters were found normal, Zn level was low and ALT level was found high.The cure of Biocan-M (Micanfin") was divided in two stages with a 21 days break and it was supported by vitamin complexes and Zn. After the cure, Zn level was found normal, diffuse alopecia was absent and lesions were lost.It is conluded that Biocan-M (Micanfin") vaccination once a year has a strong immunotherapeutic effect.Candida species have become important among the etiologic agents of the nasopharyngeal septicemia cases. It has been assumed that 10% and 20% of the entire nosocomial septicemia cases are due to Candida species. Candidosis is a serious case with high mortality and its treatment is difficult. Thus, type classification of the Candida species detected in the blood samples of the patients was performed by PCR and DNA sequence analysis.The aim of this study is the prevalence of dermatomycosis in our clinic in the after war period.During the period of July-December 1999 9390 inand-out-patients visited our clinic. The direct microscopic examination was used.From all patients 564 had mycotic infections. From this number, 293 (51.9%) presented with superficial mycosis; 43 (7.6%) with deep hair trichophytia; 4 (0.7%) had favus; 26 (4.6%) had candidosis; in 165 (29.2%) cases pityriasis versicolor was found and 33 (5.8%) had onychomycosis.We can resume that worseness of living conditions in the after war period was favorable for spreading of dermatomycoses.The prevalence, abundance, species detected, and drug susceptibility of fungi present in stool was determined. A total of 258 children were tested: 148 with non-specific gastrointestinal tract disorders, and 1 10 asthmatics.A quantitative evaluation was performed to detect the number of fungi in one gram of stool. The number of fungi I 103/1 gram was considered non-pathognostic, 104-105-doubtful, and > 105-pat...
Yavru köpekler dahil olmak üzere, hayvanlarda en sık görülen sinir sistemi hastalıklarından biri olan hidrosefalusun doğmasal türüne daha sık rastlanmaktadır. Biz de derlememizde, günümüzde tanı ve sağaltım seçeneklerinin artış gösterdiği hastalığa detaylı bir bakış oluşturmayı amaçladık.
Canine parvoviral enteritis (CPV) is one of the most common diseases why puppies are presented to clinicians. Being non-enveloped, single striated DNA viruses, parvoviruses cause disease in a variety of wild and domestic mammalians. Three subtypes of the virus have similar pathogenicity resulting in clinical disease. In spite of affecting also older animals, the disease most often strikes in pups. Cardiac and intestinal forms are two types of the disease. CPV is highly contagious and severe but healed dogs gain lifetime immunity. Abdominal ultrasonography (USG) has greater accuracy since it is a non-invasive but efficient method. Thus, it may be helpful to diagnose the disease when accompanied by clinical and laboratory tests. The aim of this case report is to discuss USG findings, clinical symptoms and healing procedure of two dogs suffering from CPV represented with complaints of hemorrhagic diarrhoea, vomitus and lack of appetite and water intake as well as progressive weight loss. Non-specific signs were found in both dogs. One puppy was infested with ascariasis. Routine treatment was adopted for both puppies. Definitive diagnosis is established with the help of anamnesis, clinical symptoms and laboratory tests. USG is a non-invasive, fast and reliable method and may be employed as a supportive examination for enteritis detection in order to exclude other intestinal diseases necessitating laparotomy. In our case, intestinal USG was performed with a 5-7.5 mHz transducer. Altered intestinal wall structure and damaged intestinal individualization were noted. Both patients were healed.
Acetaminophen causes serious problems as toxication in cats in spite of being an effective and reliable analgesic and antipyretic in humans. A six months-old female cat suffering from cough was presented to examination to International Pet Hospital/Tirana/Albania when no result was obtained after one acetaminophen tablet had been administered in order to heal the disease. Depression, grey and cyanotic mucous membranes and tongue, tachypnea, tachycardia, hypothermia were primary clinical signs. The color of blood and urine were darkened. On the basis of anamnesis and clinical findings, a definitive diagnosis of acetaminophen toxicosis was made. Therapeutic protocol contained blood transfusion, N-Acetylcysteine, ascorbic acid, cimeditine and IV fluid therapy. Patient's blood samples were collected for haemogram and serum analyses with regular intervals was cured with appropriate treatment.
