Resumen
La leishmaniosis visceral es una enfermedad multisistémica que en los caninos ostenta signos clínicos tales como esplenomegalia, hepatomegalia, linfadenopatía y glomerulonefritis. Es frecuente la presentación de anemia asociada a hiperproteinemia. La ecografía puede revelar anomalías morfológicas y estructurales de los órganos de la cavidad abdominal. El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar mediante eco-grafía las lesiones visibles de los órganos abdominales, así como establecer relaciones con los análisis de laboratorio. La detección del parásito se efectuó mediante diagnósticos parasitológico y serológico indirecto. Los órganos abdominales afectados se evaluaron por ecografía (forma, tamaño, estructura y ecogenicidad). En los riñones se exploró la relación corteza/médula. En el laboratorio se investigaron las variables sanguíneas, serológicas y renales. La estadificación clínica de los caninos resultó del 50% en estadio moderado, 40% grave y 10% muy grave. Las principales alteraciones fueron hepatomegalia(8 pacientes), esplenomegalia (1 caso) e incremento de la ecogenicidad de la corteza renal con disminución de la definición corticomedular y linfoadenomegalia (5 animales). El 90% de los caninos reveló anemia acompañada de hiperproteinemia. Se concluye que el uso de la ecografía en conjunto con los análisis sanguíneos, pueden ayudar a establecer la severidad de las lesiones de los órganos abdominales en pacientes con leishmaniosis.
Canine visceral leishmaniasis is a multisystemic disease with clinical signs such as splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, lymphadenopathy and glomerulonephritis. The presentation of anemia associated with hyperproteinemia is frequent. Ultrasound can reveal morphological and structural abnormalities of the abdominal organs. The objectives of this work were to evaluate the visible lesions of the abdominal organs by means of ultrasound, and to establish relationships with laboratory analysis. The parasite was detected by indirect parasitological and serological diagnoses. The affected abdominal organs were evaluated by ultrasound (shape, size, structure and echogenicity). The cortex/medulla ratio was explored in the kidneys. At the laboratory, hemogram and blood biochemistry of each patient were investigated. The clinical staging of the dogs was 50% for moderate stage, 40% for severe, and 10% for very severe. The main alterations were hepatomegaly (8 patients), splenomegaly (1 case) and increased echogenicity of the renal cortex with decreased corticomedular definition and lymphadenomegaly (5 animals). Around 90% of the animals revealed anemia accompanied by hyperproteinemia. It is concluded that the use of ultrasound in conjunction with blood tests can help to establish the severity of abdominal organ injuries in dogs with leishmaniasis.
