Babesiosis
Babesia spp. infection
Juga dikenali sebagai: Babesia infection
Ringkasnya
Babesiosis is a serious tick-borne disease in dogs and occasionally cats, caused by microscopic parasites that destroy red blood cells. Recognizing signs like pale gums, dark urine, and fever early is crucial for effective treatment and preventing life-threatening complications.
TL;DR. Babesiosis ialah jangkitan parasit berbahaya bawaan sengkenit yang memusnahkan sel darah merah, menyebabkan anemia teruk, demam dan kerosakan organ; rawatan veterinar segera diperlukan.
Babesia membiak dalam eritrosit dan memecahkannya.
Apakah itu?
Protozoa genus Babesia menyerang eritrosit dan menyebabkan hemolisis serta trombositopenia. Lebih lazim pada anjing; jarang pada kucing.
Kitar hidup merangkumi penularan melalui air liur sengkenit dan invasi eritrosit.
Punca dan faktor risiko
Sengkenit (cth. Rhipicephalus), gigitan anjing, transfusi, penularan ibu. Risiko lebih tinggi pada pit bull dan greyhound.
Tanda
Anemia hemolitik (kardinal), demam, membran pucat, depresi, kelemahan, anoreksia, trombositopenia, spleno-/hepatomegali. Kadang air kencing gelap, ikterus, petekia, DIC.
Gusi pucat menandakan anemia teruk.
Diagnosis
CBC, smear, PCR (emas, spesies), IFA, Coombs. Membezakan daripada hemolisis imun primer penting.
Smear kadang menunjukkan parasit dalam sel.
Rawatan
Spesies besar: imidocarb. Kecil (B. gibsoni): atovaquone + azitromisin. Barisan kedua: diminazene, gabungan antibiotik. Sokongan: transfusi, cecair, oksigen.
Prognosis
Berubah-ubah; subklinikal boleh hidup bertahun; akut boleh maut. Status pembawa sering kekal.
Pencegahan
Kawalan sengkenit sepanjang tahun, semak harian, elak pergaduhan, saringan penderma.
Bila hubungi veterinar
Letargi, demam, anoreksia selepas sengkenit/gigitan. Kecemasan: gusi putih/kuning, air kencing gelap, runtuh, sesak nafas, ikterus.
