Mecanismos fisiológicos de vitaminas do complexo B e ações terapêuticas no tratamento de um cão com alterações neurológicas sugestivo de brucelose.

Abstract

The B vitamins are water soluble and has important action in hematopoietic processes, maintenance of the nervous system, energy production, growth and development of the animal. Therefore, given the context, the aim of this work was to study the physiological mechanisms of B vitamins and therapeutic actions of its use in the treatment of a dog with suggestive diagnosis of brucellosis, attended the Medical Clinic of Small Animals (CMPA), the University Veterinary hospitalProf. Dr. Ivon Macêdo Tabosa, UFCG, Patos-PB. Upon arriving at the CMPA was accompanied by a wandering dog, mongrel, adult and trampling history; physical examination the patient had a level of consciousness responsive to stimuli,quadriplegia and lateral position. The ocular and oral mucosa were congested, lymph nodesreactive popliteal, body condition score 35% degree of dehydration, and the opaque. Evidenced in the clinical follow-up increased respiratory rate (72mov / min), Rectal temperature (39,8ºC) and systolic blood pressures (153mm / Hg) and diastolic pressure (76mm / Hg). It was collected urine, blood and blood count and serum chemistry. One of the diagnostic suspicion, after evaluation, would be to be distemper, however, over a few days, ruled out the hypothesis, since neurological symptoms began to appear stable and proprioceptive stimuli applied in the dog gradually showed responses. As a result of the progression of an inflammatory condition of testicular region with increased bilateral volume asymmetry, dermatitis scrotum, firm consistency and swollen testicles diagnosis was then suggestive for brucellosis since there was no possibility of performing confirmatory test for brucellosis by serology. Based on symptoms and examination resultsThe treatment was with antibiotics (doxycycline 100mg) associated with administration of 5000mg Citoneurin, Organoneurocerebral Gaballon and which has in its composition vitamin B complex in WBC was observed on neutrophils and monocyte leukocytosis, indicating that the animal had infectious, suggestive of bacterial diseases. was recordedElevated concentrations of serum aspartate aminotransferase (90.8 U / L) and glucose (118.5 mg / dL). The results of urinalysis protein and glucose values were above referenced parameters. After associated with antibiotic therapy vitamins leukocyte count was done, and having reversal of values for the normal and recovery orchitis, was held orchiectomy. The dog had full recovery of neurological picture, noting that the use of antibiotics associated with B vitamins assist in the recovery of this animal.
