Tratamento de pitiose em égua gestante utilizando perfusão regional intravenosa com anfotericina b e dimetilsulfóxido

Abstract: ResumoPitiose cutânea equina (PCE) é uma enfermidade descrita em todo território brasileiro, no entanto, são escassas as informações quanto ao tratamento e procedimento cirúrgico em éguas gestantes. Descreve-se um caso de PCE em uma égua com nove meses de gestação com histórico de trauma no membro pélvico esquerdo que evoluiu para lesão ulcerativa granulomatosa com presença de "kunkers". Foi realizada excisão cirúrgica, seguida da cauterização e perfusão regional intravenosa (PRI) com 50 mg de anfotericina B (… Show more

“…Although IRP with amphotericin B is an effective in therapy for ECP, with a success rate of up to 100% of cases treated (CARVALHO et al, 2016;DÓRIA et al, 2012DÓRIA et al, , 2015, it may only be applied to lesions on the horse's limbs, not to lesions on the abdomen, such as in some of the cases reported in this study. Compared with the systemic administration of amphotericin B, fluconazole is found to be safe and presents no side effects (liver or renal), while there are reports of renal toxicity associated with amphotericin B (ADAMS, 2003).…”

“…Contrary to this assertion, synergism has been observed by the combination of the antifungal drugs terbinafine and fluconazole for control of Pythium insidiosum in vitro (CAVALHEIRO et al, 2009). Further, in contrast to the non-efficacy of antifungal agents on oomycetes, intravenous regional perfusion (IRP) using miconazole (WORSTER et al, 2000) and amphotericin B is reportedly a successful therapeutic for ECP (CARVALHO et al, 2016;DÓRIA et al, 2012DÓRIA et al, , 2015, which highlights the lack of knowledge regarding the mechanisms of action of these drugs on oomycetes. It is likely that the main mechanism of action of antifungal agents against Pythium insidiosum is modulation of the host's immune system against pathogens, either by recruiting phagocytes or releasing cytokines (BEN-AMI et al, 2008;MESA-ARANGO et al, 2012).…”
