Mionecrose aguda por Clostridium septicum em equinos

Abstract: 637Pesq. Vet. Bras. 30(8):637-640, agosto 2010 RESUMO.-Descrevem-se dois casos de miosite necrosante causada por Clostridium septicum em equinos. Os dois equinos apresentavam aumento de volume no membro pélvico direito e que se estendia para a região abdominal ventral. Ao corte, essa área era formada por edema sanguinolento e bolhas de gás. Os músculos esqueléticos da região caudal da coxa apresentavam áreas vermelho-escuras, crepitantes, com edema sanguinolento e, ao corte, as áreas mais profundas da muscu… Show more

“…Malignant edema is a clostridial infection that mainly affects ruminants (Odani et al 2009), horses (Peek et al 2003, Raymundo et al 2010, Farias et al 2014 and other mammals and birds (Silva et al 2016b). It is due to contamination of wounds by bacteria of the genus Clostridium including one or more of the following: Clostridium septicum, Clostridium chauvoei, Clostridium novyi type A, Clostridium perfringens type A, and Clostridium sordellii (Prescott 2016, Silva et al 2016b).…”

“…11,12,29,44,68 Nevertheless, several cases of gas gangrene in which only C. septicum was detected by fluorescent antibody (FA) testing or immunohistochemistry (IHC) seem to contradict the above statement. 61,62,78,81 FA testing and IHC provide a snapshot of the relative proportion of different clostridial species present in animal tissues and are not affected by the presence of other microorganisms. 8…”

“…Equine species are less commonly affected by malignant edema; however, there are published veterinary reports that describe muscle infections caused by the following Clostridium species: C. fallax, C. septicum, C. chauvoei, C. sporogenes and, more commonly, C. perfringens ( Hagemoser et al , 1980 ; Coloe et al , 1983 ; Choi et al , 2003 ; Peek et al , 2003 ; Raymundo et al , 2010 ). Clostridium novyi infection in horses is less frequently and usually fatal ( Valberg et al , 1984 ; Aleman et al , 2003 ).…”

“…According to literature, most previously reported cases of clostridial myositis in horses developed after the intramuscular administration of nonantibiotic medication ( Harwood, 1984 ; Brown, 1988 ; Peek et al , 2003 ; Raymundo et al , 2010 ). In these cases, the site of injection corresponded to site at which the clinical signs were first observed; therefore, it is assumed that the clostridial muscle infection resulted from the intramuscular injection.…”
