Erliquiose canina - relato de caso / Ehrlichiosis canine - case report

ABSTRACT

Canine ehrlichiosis is a disease caused by species of genus Ehrlichia with great importance in veterinary. The clinical signs as well as haematological changes are variable and it is necessary to use other more specific diagnostic methods. The present work reports the case of a female dog, SRD, presenting hyperthermia, convulsion, uveitis, nystagmus, myoclonus, ataxia, prostration and lymphadenitis. The necropsy report was suggestive of ehrlichiosis.
