Pathological aspects of disseminated protothecosis-like infection in a dog
2024
Overview
Anatomopathological descriptions of infections caused by saprophytic algae in dogs are rare. This study reported the anatomopathological and microbiological findings suggestive of disseminated protothecosis in a dog residing in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. During necropsy, macroscopic alterations were observed in peripheral lymph nodes, heart, kidneys, pancreas, and lungs. Microbiological, cytological, and histopathological examinations were performed. Cytology and histopathology revealed piogranulomatous inflammation associated with sporangia and endospores, while microbiological culture suggested the growth of Prototheca spp.. These anatomopathological and microbiological findings were crucial for diagnosing and documenting the first case of disseminated Prototheca spp. compatible infection in a dog in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. RESUMO: Descrições anatomopatológicas de infecções causadas por algas saprófitas em cães são raras. Este estudo relata os achados anatomopatológicos e microbiológicos sugestivos de prototecose disseminada em um cão residente no estado do Espírito Santo, Brasil. Durante a necropsia foram observadas alterações macroscópicas em linfonodos periféricos, coração, rins, pâncreas e pulmões. Foram realizados exames microbiológicos, citológicos e histopatológicos. A citologia e a histopatologia revelaram inflamação piogranulomatosa associada a esporângios e endósporos, enquanto a cultura microbiológica sugeriu o crescimento de Prototheca spp. Esses achados anatomopatológicos e microbiológicos foram cruciais para diagnosticar e documentar o primeiro caso de infecção disseminada compatível com Prototheca spp.. estado do Espírito Santo, Brasil.
