Summary: In order to verify the possible hematologic alterations related to intestinal parasitism in horses, 84 mixed breed animals (42 males, 42 females) were selected, with age varying from 2 to 15 years, used in the daily routine work of urban traction, with history of weight loss and less resistance to physical effort, and with a diagnoses of intense natural infection with strongyles. The fecal egg count per grams of feces (EPG) showed a variation from 350 to 6.500 EPG (Md 1.425 EPG) characterizing a considerable degree of infection with adult strongyles. The hematologic parameters were erithrocytes 6.43 ± 0,90 x 106/µL; hemoglobin 10,62 ± 1,63 g/dL; PCV 30,98 ± 4,08 %; MCV 48,38 ± 3,14 fL; MCHC 34,51 ± 4,00 %; leucocytes 12.495 ± 2.776,26 /µL; band neutrophils 28,98 ± 114,43/µL; mature neutrophils 7.970,77 ± 2.534,33/µL; lymphocytes 3.921 ± 1.585,29/µL; monocytes 128,60 ± 187,10/µL and eosinophils 434,33 ± 398,07/µL. These values showed a leucocytosis with neutrophilia, as well as a tendency of erythrocytic values in staying close to the normal inferior limits of the reference range for the specie. No alterations regarding eosinophylic values were observed, thus partly contradicting the concept that eosinophilia should occur with intestinal parasitism in horses.

No alterations regarding eosinophylic values were observed, thus partly contradicting the concept that eosinophilia should occur with intestinal parasitism in horses.Com objetivo de verificar as possíveis alterações hematológicas relacionadas ao parasitismo intestinal em eqüinos selecionaram-se 84 animais (42 machos, 42 fêmeas), mestiços, com idade entre 2 e 15 anos, utilizados em trabalho diário de tração urbana, com histórico de emagrecimento e menor resistência ao esforço físico, diagnosticando-se apenas elevada infecção natural por estrongilídeos. A contagem de ovos por gramas de fezes (OPG) mostrou uma variação de 350 a 6.500 OPG (Md = 1.425 OPG) caracterizando um grau considerável de infecção por formas adultas de estrongilídeos, sendo o quadro hematológico representado pelos valores médios a seguir; Eritrócitos: 6,43 ± 0,90 x 106/µL; Hb: 10,62 ± 1,63 g/dL; Ht: 30,98 ± 4,08 %; VCM: 48,38 ± 3,14 fL; CHCM: 34,51 ± 4,00 %; Leucócitos: 12.495,83 ± 2.776,26/µL; Bastonetes: 28,98 ± 114,43/µL; Neutrófilos: 7.970,77 ± 2.534,33/µL; Linfócitos: 3.921,62 ± 1.585,29/µL; Monócitos: 128,60 ± 187,10/µL e Eosinófilos: 434,33 ± 398,07/µL. Tais achados apontam a existência de leve leucocitose por neutrofilia, assim como uma tendência do quadro eritrocitário em se manter próximo aos limites inferiores de normalidade considerados para a espécie. Não se observou, por fim, qualquer alteração quanto aos valores de eosinófilos, contradizendo em parte o conceito de que a eosinofilia deva acompanhar os quadros de parasitismo intestinal na espécie eqüina.UEL2004-02-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/204910.5433/1679-0359.2001v22n2p179Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 22 No. 2 (2001); 179-181Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 22 n. 2 (2001); 179-1811679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
