“…É necessário diagnosticar as causas de doenças hepáticas em felinos, e deve considerar a presença de Platynosomum em casos de distúrbios hepáticos, independente de histórico de relatos de ingestão de hospedeiros (Andréia et al, 2018), além de reforçar a importância de platinosomose como diagnóstico diferencial das doenças hepáticas felinas (Jesus et al, 2015).…”

A platinosomose é uma parasitose causada pelo trematódeo Platynosomum spp., que acomete o sistema hepatobiliar de felinos. As suas manifestações clínicas são inespecíficas, sendo os exames complementares indispensáveis para um diagnóstico eficaz. O presente relato possui o objetivo de demonstrar a importância do diagnóstico por imagem, em especial a ultrassonografia como importante ferramenta na detecção de alterações desencadeadas por essa parasitose. Um felino, macho, SRD, com cinco anos de idade, pesando 2,55 kg, castrado, vacinado apenas contra raiva, vermifugação atrasada, histórico de êmese, dificuldade para defecar, urina com coloração e odor. O parênquima hepático estava distorcido, apresentado ecotextura heterogênea. A vesícula biliar com dificuldade de delimitação, estava com dimensões aumentadas, notando-se dilatações dos ductos biliares, com conteúdo ecogênico, distendidos e irregulares, com característica de hipoperfusão dos vasos biliares, podendo estar relacionada à obstrução intra e extra hepática. Foi instituída terapia clínica e solicitado retorno para reavaliação animal vindo a óbito foi submetido à necropsia sendo detectado colangite, vias biliares acentuadamente com ectasia, e encontrado exemplares de Platynossomum spp.

“…Eosinophilia and an increased activity of the hepatic enzymes alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) have been detected in platynosomiasis cases. However, increased serum ALP concurrent with eosinophilia is sporadically reported [11][12][13]. Infected cats present a variety of clinical signs such as cachexia, vomiting, diarrhea, ascites, progressive jaundice, and death.…”

Platynosomum spp., a hepatic trematode, causes fatal hepatobiliary disease in cats. Feline platynosomiasis is often underestimated due to a lack of awareness and diagnostic challenges. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence, factors, and clinicopathological abnormalities associated with Platynosomum spp. infection in cats with elevated serum ALT levels. Platynosomum infection was determined using zinc sulfate flotation and formalin–ether sedimentation. DNA sequence analysis of PCR products from the Platynosomum internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region and cox1 gene was used to identify Platynosomum species. Of a total of 43 cat fecal samples, the proportion of Platynosomum spp. infection by microscopic examination was 11.63% (5/43). All PCR-positive samples were molecularly identified as Platynosomum illiciens. From the logistic regression analysis, the odds of Platynosomum infection in cats without a deworming program were 16 times higher than those of regularly dewormed cats. Demographic data, housing conditions, and predatory behavior were not significantly associated with the infection. Regarding blood profiles, infected cats had higher eosinophil counts (p = 0.014), with no significant differences in ALT (p = 0.791) or ALP (p = 0.970) levels compared to non-infected cats. Our findings demonstrate that eosinophilia in cats with increased serum ALT may suggest P. illiciens infection in endemic areas. We strongly recommend a regular deworming program to mitigate the risk of P. illiciens infection.
