Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, doğal olarak kalp kurdu ile enfekte köpeklerde ekokardiografik muayene bulgularını belirlemek ve bu bulguların pulmoner arterdeki erişkin kurtların tanısında kullanılabilirliğini değerlendirmektir. Tarama yapılan 180 köpekten ağırlıkları 7,5-42.0 kg, yaşları 1 ile 8 arasında değişen16 (%8,8) erkek köpek membrane filtrasyon ve antijen ELISA testi ile Dirofilaria immitis yönünden pozitif olarak belirlendi. Bu köpekler ekokardiografik muayene ile değerlendirildi. Enfekte köpeklerde mikrofiler sayısı her mililitre kan için ortalama 4730 ± 5479 (min: 8, mak: 13.339) idi. İki boyutlu (2-D) ekokardiografi, enfekte köpeklerde pulmoner arterde çok sayıda kalp kurdu nedenli ekojenik yapılar gösterdi. Sağ atriumda kurt belirlenmedi. Değişik Doppler akım örnekleri belirlendi ve bunlar dalga şekillerine göre 4 tipte sınıflandırıldı. Sonuç olarak, kurtçukların yerleşiminin ekokardiografi ile belirlenmesi kalp kurdu hastalığını çok güçlü bir şekilde işaret etmektedir

Abstract

The purpose of the study reported here was to determine echocardiographic findings in naturally heartworminfected dogs, and evaluate these findings to use in the diagnosis of adult worms in the pulmonary artery. Sixteen male dogs (8.8%) of the 180 dogs in our study, weighing 7.5-42.0 kg, ranging in age from 1 to 8 years, were determined to be positive for Dirofilaria immitis according to the results of membrane filtration and antigen ELISA tests. Dogs identified with adult heartworms in their blood were evaluated by parasitological. The mean worm burden in infected dogs was 4730 ± 5479 (min: 8, max: 13.339) per ml of blood. Two-dimensional echocardiography showed a various number of heartworm echoes in the pulmonary artery in infected dogs. No worm was detected in right atrium. Various pulsed Doppler wave patterns were identified, and we classified them into 4 different types according to their pattern of wave dispersion. In conclusion, echocardiographic detection of worms in this location is strongly suggestive of heartworm disease
