“…Erosive arthropathies include canine rheumatoid arthritis, 12 idiopathic erosive polyarthritis, 13, 14 and a breedspecific polyarthritis recognized in Greyhounds. 15,16 Nonerosive polyarthropathies have broadly been classified into types I-IV, 17 as outlined in Table 1, but also include SLE, polyarthritis/polymyositis syndrome, 18 polyarthritis/polymeningitis syndrome, 19 breed-specific polyarthropathies, such as those seen in Akitas 20 and Chinese Shar-Pei dogs, 21,22 drug-induced polyarthropathy, [23][24][25] and vaccine-induced polyarthropathy. 26 Tick-borne infectious diseases, especially ehrlichiosis (more commonly granulocytic than monocytic forms), Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Lyme disease, have also been implicated either as direct pathogens or by causing a reactive (type II) polyarthritis.…”

The goals of this study were to determine the historical, physical examination, and clinicopathologic findings in dogs with sup-purative, nonseptic polyarthropathy and to identify concurrent disorders associated with this syndrome. Medical records of 52 dogs with cytologic evidence of suppurative inflammation in two or more joints were examined retrospectively. Age of dogs was 4.8 years (median, range: 0.5-12 years). There was no clear breed or sex predilection, but most were large-breed dogs (body weight 20 kg [44.4 lbs] in 40/52). Body temperature was 103.0F (39.4C) (median, range: 100.0-105.9F), with 29 of 52 dogs having a body temperature 103F (39.4C). Lameness was identified in 42 of 52 dogs. Erosive changes were found in only 1 of 37 dogs that had radiography performed. A clear underlying disease process was not identified in 34 of 52 dogs. Seven dogs had evidence of infectious or inflammatory processes at extra-articular sites; 4 dogs were diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); 2 dogs had gastrointestinal disease; 2 dogs had been vaccinated within 1 month before onset of polyarthritis; 1 dog had cancer; 1 dog had polyarthritis and meningitis; and 1 dog had erosive polyarthritis. Of the 44 dogs tested, 25 had antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, detected by an ELISA assay, which was significantly greater than the general hospital population (P .007). Anti-bodies against Rickettsia rickettsiae and Ehrlichia canis were not definitively identified in the sera of any dog tested in this study (45 and 44 dogs, respectively). We conclude that an underlying disease process is not identified in most cases of suppurative polyarthropathy in dogs and that intestinal disease, neoplasia, and SLE are uncommon causes of polyarthritis. While seropositivity against the causative agent of Lyme disease was common and possibly a cause of polyarthritis in some dogs of our study, evidence of other vector-borne infection was not identified.

“…Affected Akitas show signs of the disease at a much earlier age, and the syndrome is heritable (Dougherty and Center, 1991). The mechanism of disease development has not been elucidated, but it shares several features with the inherited renal amyloidosis and recurrent fever of unknown origin syndrome of Chinese shar pei dogs (May et al, 1992;Rivas et al, 1993;Zeiss, 1994). This combination of symptoms is reminiscent of familial Mediterranean fever of humans, which has an autosomal recessive inheritance (Rivas et al, 1993).…”

Casos esporádicos de amiloidose afetando famílias ou indivíduos aparentados têm sido observados em cães das raças Beagle (BOWLES & MOSIER, 1992), Grey Collie (DIGIACOMO et al, 1983) e English Foxhound (MASON & DAY, 1996) e também em gatos Siameses ( VAN DER LINDE-SIPMAN et al, 1997).…”

No Brasil, essa doença é conhecida como febre dos Shar-peis entre os criadores dessa raça.…”

“…Sinais indicativos de uremia incluíam o quadro clínico observado alguns dias antes da morte e as úlceras bilaterais simétricas na língua e as erosões no estômago observadas à necropsia. Os dados epidemiológicos e clínicos observados neste caso são semelhantes aos descritos em casos da febre familiar dos cães Shar-peis Chineses (DIBARTOLA, 1995, MAY et al, 1992, RIVAS et al, 1993. A FFS é uma doença hereditária autossômica recessiva.…”
