Abstract: Pesq. Vet. Bras. 34(10):990-995, outubro 2014 990 RESUMO.-[Lavado broncoalveolar como ferramenta para avaliação de alterações celulares durante a infecção por Aelurostrongylus abstrusus em gatos.] O lavado broncoalveolar (LBA) é um procedimento que permite a recuperação de células e outros elementos pulmonares para avaliação, auxiliando no diagnóstico de doenças pulmonares. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar este procedimento para avaliação das células presentes no fluido broncoalveolar na infec… Show more

“…Th2 inflammatory responses are characterized by the recruitment and activation of mast cells, basophils and eosinophils, and goblet cell hyperplasia in airway and intestinal epithelia [ 105 ]. Bronchoalveolar lavage analysis of A. abstrusus -experimentally infected cats revealed a significant increase in the number of eosinophils, macrophages and neutrophils following infection [ 106 ]. Eosinophilia has been found to be important in controlling migrating larvae of the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis at the lung and intestinal stages [ 107 ] .…”

“…Previously, the diagnosis of A abstrusus via fine-needle biopsy is described in two cats. 8 , 9 In people, a broad spectrum of parasitic infections can have thoracic manifestations, but sonography and sonographic diagnosis are seldom used for screening. 10 We describe herein the radiographic features, and, for the first time in the veterinary literature, to our knowledge, the associated sonographic pulmonary parenchymal features of A abstrusus.…”

“…For this reason, faecal samples need to be collected over three consecutive days, in order to increase the sensitivity of the test (Guglielmini and Conboy, 2009). Larvae also can be diagnosed from the trans-tracheal aspirate or bronchoalveolar lavage -BAL (Lalošević et al, 2001;Ribiero and Lima, 2001;Ribiero et al, 2014). Ribiero et al (2014) demonstrated that cellular BAL fluid (BALF) evaluation provides useful information to the veterinary clinician, especially when larvae of A. abstrusus are found, enabling the illness to be differentiated from other pulmonary feline disease.…”

The BALF allows us to retrieve cells and L1 larvae, which provides additional information about the inflammatory process caused by aelurostrongylosis.…”
