Lyme disease (Borreliosis) in a saint bernard dog: first clinical case in Turkey

Öz:

Lyme hastalığı, Ixodes keneleri tarafından bulaştırılan Borrelia burgdorferi spiroketinin meydana getirdiği zoonoz bir enfeksiyondur. Bu olgu Türkiye’de Lyme hastalığının ilk klinik raporudur. Olgu yaklaşık 6 aylıkken topallamaya başlayan ve değişik bacaklarda topallığın yeniden görüldüğü 2 yaşında, erkek, Saint Bernard ırkı bir köpekti. Serum örneklerinde B. burgdorferi IgM, IgG ile Western Blot testi pozitif olarak bulundu. Kronik Borreliosis tanısı konuldu ve uzun süreli amoksisilin tedavisi önerildi. İlk gelişinden bir yıl sonra sahibinin görüşüne göre köpeğin sağlıklı olduğu öğrenildi. İkinci yıl yapılan klinik muayenede Lyme ile ilişkili bir bulguya rastlanmadı.

Saint Bernard ırkı bir köpekte Lyme hastalığı (Borreliosis): Türkiye’de ilk klinik olgu

Öz:

Lyme disease is a zoonotic infection caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted by ticks of the Ixodes species. This is the first clinical case report of Lyme disease in Turkey. The subject was a 2-year-old male Saint Bernard with recurrent shifting leg lameness that began at about 6 months of age. In sera samples, B. burgdorferi IgM, IgG, and Western Blot were found to be positive. Chronic borreliosis was diagnosed and a long-term amoxicillin treatment was recommended. One year after the initial presentation, the dog was asymptomatic according to the owner. A clinical examination performed 2 years after the diagnosis failed to find any evidence of clinical Lyme disease.
