Ehrlichiosis
Ehrlichia canis
Juga dikenal sebagai: Canine monocytotropic ehrlichiosis, Canine granulocytotropic ehrlichiosis, Canine ehrlichiosis
Singkatnya
Ehrlichiosis is a common tick-borne bacterial infection in dogs and cats that attacks blood cells, causing symptoms like fever, abnormal bleeding, and lethargy across acute, subclinical, and chronic phases.
TL;DR. Infeksi bakteri serius yang ditularkan caplak menyerang sel darah; dari demam hingga perdarahan dan gagal sumsum tulang.
Caplak adalah vektor utama Ehrlichia.
Apa itu?
Infeksi bakteri intrasel genus Ehrlichia (terutama E. canis), ditularkan caplak coklat anjing. Menyerang leukosit (morula). Fase: akut, subklinis, kronis dengan supresi sumsum. Kurang terdokumentasi pada kucing.
Penyebab dan faktor risiko
Gigitan caplak terinfeksi. Risiko lebih tinggi di luar tanpa pencegahan. Tidak ada ras tetap.
"In one study of 8662 dogssamplessubmitted from 14 veterinary colleges, 6 private veterinary practices, and 4 diagnostic laboratories across the south and central regions of the United States, antibody prevalence rates for E. canis and E. chaffeensis were 0. 8% and 2. 8%, respectively (Beal et al, 2012)."
Tanda
- Demam, limfadenopati, trombositopenia, petekie (umum)
- Anemia nonregeneratif, hiperglobulinemia, splenomegali (umum)
- Epistaksis, poliartritis, proteinuria (kadang)
Petekie di gusi mencerminkan trombosit rendah.
Diagnosis
Hemogram dan biokimia. ELISA/SNAP, IFA, PCR, sediaan apus, sumsum jika kronis.
"Changes in bone marrow cell lines associated with ehrlichiosis vary from hypercellular (acute phase) to hypocellular (chronic phase)."
Sediaan apus dapat menunjukkan morula dalam leukosit.
Pengobatan
Doxycycline ≥28 hari (ACVIM). Alternatif: tetracycline, chloramphenicol, imidocarb. Glukokortikoid singkat jika penghancuran imun. Dukungan: cairan, transfusi.
"The ACVIM Infectious Disease Study Group currently recommends doxycycline (10 mg/kg PO q24h for at least 28 days)."
Prognosis
Akut: sangat baik. Kronis sumsum: waspada hingga buruk.
Pencegahan
Pencegahan caplak sepanjang tahun, cek harian, lingkungan. Tidak ada vaksin.
Kapan menghubungi dokter hewan
Demam atau letargi setelah caplak. Darurat: epistaksis, petekie, kolaps, sesak napas.
