Resumo: Platinosomosis affects felines and it is caused by a trematode of the genus Platynosomum sp. The parasitized animals can be symptomatic or asymptomatic and the disease can evolve severely, killing the animal. Due to the similarity between clinical signs and changes of platinosomosis and those of other pathologies caused by the parasite and having in mind that the parasite occasionally appears on the stool, the search for trematodes and eggs in material coming from bile aspirate is a more efficient way to diagnose the parasitic disease, what helps to distinguish it from other liver diseases. Thus, the clinical veterinarian is able to perform the treatment correctly. The aim was to report a case of cystic liver disease related to platinosomosis in a domestic feline which has been undergoing treatment of liver disease for over a year. During the clinical evaluation, the animal was apathetic and with hepatomegaly. A complete blood count (CBC) revealed a discreet lymphopenia. The enzymes alkaline phosphatase and alanine transaminase were above the normal range for the species. The parasitological examination of the biliary material indicated eggs from the trematode Platynosomum sp. whereas the histopathology examination of liver masses indicated cystic structures covered by connective tissue and multifocal mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate. In conclusion, liver cysts in felines with chronic liver disease can be associated with cases of diseases caused by the trematode helminths.

Os animais parasitados podem ser sintomáticos ou assintomáticos e a doença pode evoluir de forma grave levando o animal a óbito. Devido à similaridade dos sinais clínicos e alterações ocasionadas pelo parasita com outras patologias hepáticas e a liberação do parasita nas fezes ocorrer de forma esporádica, a pesquisa de trematódeos e ovos em material proveniente de aspirados de bile é uma forma de diagnóstico mais eficiente da parasitose, o que auxiliará na diferenciação de outras hepatopatias, e com isso o clínico veterinário poderá realizar o tratamento de forma correta. Dessa forma, objetivou-se relatar um caso de doença hepática cística associado a platinosomose em felino doméstico assistido para tratamento de hepatopatia há mais de um ano. Na avaliação clínica, o animal se apresentava apático e com hepatomegalia. Foi realizado hemograma onde se evidenciou uma discreta linfopenia e as enzimas fosfatase alcalina e alanina aminostransferase estavam acima dos limites de normalidade para espécie. No exame parasitológico de conteúdo biliar foi observado ovos do trematódeo Platynosomum sp. enquanto que no exame histopatológico de massas hepáticas foram observadas estruturas císticas recobertas por tecido conjuntivo e infiltrado inflamatório mononuclear multifocal. Conclui-se que a presença de cistos hepáticos em felinos com hepatopatia crônica pode estar associada a quadros de parasitismo por helmintos trematódeos.EDUFU2017-09-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/3511310.14393/BJ-v33n5a2017-35113Bioscience Journal ; Vol. 33 No. 5 (2017): Sept./Oct.; 1268-1273Bioscience Journal ; v. 33 n. 5 (2017): Sept./Oct.; 1268-12731981-3163reponame:Bioscience journal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/35113/20831Brazil; ContemporaryCopyright (c) 2017 Rafael Rocha de Souza, Lígia Fernandes Gundim, Fernanda Gatti de Oliveira Nascimento, Thaís de Almeida Moreira, Leandro William Borges, Antonio Vicente Mundim, Alessandra Aparecida Medeiros-Ronchihttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSouza, Rafael Rocha deGundim, Lígia FernandesNascimento, Fernanda Gatti de OliveiraMoreira, Thaís de AlmeidaBorges, Leandro WilliamMundim, Antonio VicenteMedeiros-Ronchi, Alessandra Aparecida2022-02-12T22:10:22Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/35113Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournalPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/oaibiosciencej@ufu.br||1981-31631516-3725opendoar:2022-02-12T22:10:22Bioscience journal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
