    Eritrocitose decorrente de neoplasia em cão: relato de caso
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2010-05-30) GOMES, Gislaine de Cássia; VARZIM, Fernanda Leme S.B.
    Erythrocytoses are characterized by an increase in the number of erythrocytes, hemoglobin concentration and globular volume (VG or hematocrit) above the normal assessed for each species, race, sex and age. The globular volume above 50% characterizes a more viscous blood making it difficult to transport oxygen. This paper reports the case of a female dog, Sheepdog, 9 years old, who was seen at the Veterinary Hospital “Vicente Borelli” in São João da Boa Vista, SP, and who had a transmissible venereal tumor, abdominal neoplasia in ovary, uterus, spleen and lymph node . The blood counts performed significantly helped in the diagnosis, proving the association of these neoplasms with the erythrocyte alterations, called erythrocytosis.

    Presença de inclusão semelhante a anaplasma platys (Ehrlichia platys) em gato: relato de dois casos
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2010-05-30) GOMES, Gislaine de Cássia; PEACH, Priscilla; VARZIM, Fernanda Leme S. B.
    Ehrlichiosis is a disease caused by gram-negative intracellular bacteria that belongs to the Order Rickettsiales, Family Anaplasmataceae, genera Ehrlichia and Anaplasma, with the genus Ehrlichia canis infecting mononuclear cells, and Anaplasma platys infects only platelets. Often the clinical signs presented are nonspecific. This work reports the occurrence in two cats that presented in their laboratory exams, morulae suggestive of Anaplasma platys. These animals were treated at the Veterinary Hospital “Vicente Borelli” in São João da Boa Vista, SP. In one case, a three-month-old cat with a history of motor incoordination, apathy and anorexia. The other case, an eleven-year-old cat, with a history of injury to the left eye, easy tiredness, wheezing and coughing. In both cases described, the presence of inclusion in a platelet similar to Anaplasma platys was observed in the blood smear.
