Abstract

Bu olgu sunumunda, plevral efüzyon ile karakterize vakalarda ayırıcı tanıyı koymakta veteriner hekimlere yardımcı olmak ve rutinde tercih edilen geniş spektrumlu antibiyotik kullanımı sonucunda yanıt alınamadığı durumlarda bakteri identifikasyonu ve antibiyogram analizinin önemini vurgulayarak klinisyenlere tedavide izlenecek yollara dair yardımcı olması hedeflenmiştir. Bu olgunun materyalini toraks radyografisinde plevral efüzyon varlığı tespit edilmiş, dispne, dilde morarma, yüksek ateş ve ağrılı oturuş şikayetleri olan 1,5 yaşlı, Scottish Fold ırkı, erkek bir kedi oluşturmaktadır.Efüzyon örneğinin serolojik incelemesinde Feline Coronavirus pozitif sonucu üzerine Immuncomb FCoV IgG antikor titre testi bakılmış olup S2 düşük pozitif olduğu görülmüştür. Hastalığın klinik seyri ve diğer laboratuvar bulguları Feline Enfeksiyöz Peritonitis hastalığının efüziv formu ile paralel gitmediği için ayırıcı tanı amacıyla alınan efüzyonun sitolojik olarak incelenmesi uygun görülmüştür. Yapılan immunositokimyasal analizde FCoV negatif sonuç tespit edilmiştir. Sitolojik incelemeler sonrası piyotoraks tanısı kesinleşmiştir.Bakteriyel identifikasyon sonucunda Mycoplasma spp. tespit edilmiştir. Antibiyogram sonucunda ise klindamisin duyarlılığı tespit edilmiştir. Tedavi protokolü olarak kullanılan diüretikler dışında başlanan klindamisin (Clindan®, Bilim Ilac, Istanbul) 5.5 mg/kg, intravenöz, q12h, 14 gün olarak kullanılmış olup sonrasında olgunun efüzyon şiddetinde azalma, iştahta artış, genel durumda iyileşme gözlemlenmeye başlanmış ve belli aralıklarla tekrarlanan toraks radyografilerinde yeniden şekillenen bir plevral efüzyon tablosuna rastlanmamıştır.

A Case and Treatment of Resistant Pyothorax in a Cat

Abstract

In this case report, it is aimed to assist veterinarians in making the differential diagnosis in cases characterized by pleural effusion and to assist clinicians in the treatment pathways by emphasizing the importance of bacterial identification and antibiogram analysis in cases where there is no response as a result of the routine use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The material of this case is a 1.5-year-old Scottish Fold male cat with pleural effusion detected on thorax radiographs, dyspnea, bruising on the tongue, high fever and painful sitting. In the serological examination of the effusion sample, Immuncomb FCoV IgG antibody titer test was checked on the positive result of Feline Coronavirus and it was found to be S2 low positive. Since the clinical course of the disease and other laboratory findings did not go in parallel with the effusive form of Feline Infectious Peritonitis, cytological examination of the effusion taken for differential diagnosis was deemed appropriate. FCoV negative result was detected in the immunocytochemical analysis. The diagnosis of pyothorax was confirmed after cytological examinations. As a result of bacterial identification, Mycoplasma spp. detected. As a result of the antibiogram, clindamycin susceptibility was detected. Apart from the diuretics used as a treatment protocol, clindamycin (Clindan®, Bilim Ilac, Istanbul) was started at 5.5 mg/kg, intravenous, q12h, for 14 days. Afterwards, a decrease in the severity of effusion, an increase in appetite, an improvement in general condition were observed, and thorax repeated at regular intervals and, no remodeling pleural effusion picture was found in the radiographs.
