Özet:

 


Objectives: The aim of this study was
to draw attention to the clinical course of the disease and some laboratory
findings in cats diagnosed with Toxoplasmosis.


Materials and Methods: Toxoplasma gondii
seropositive 14 cats were used in this study.  A serological
evaluation was carried out to determine the presence of Toxoplasma
gondii specific IgG using commercial diagnostic kits, by the
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Hematological and
clinical changes of those cats were recorded. 


Results: Of 14 cats, neural symptoms
such as behavioral changes, seizures, ataxia and nystagmus were detected in 11
cats, uveitis in 5 cats and diarrhea in 4 cats. Serum urea, creatinine and
bilirubin levels were normal in all cats. However, Anemia (decreased Hb, RBC,
PCV) in 8 cats (57.1%), monocytosis in 6 cats (42.8%), neutrophilia in 5 cats (35.7%),
hypoalbuminemia in 5 cats (35.7%) and increased AST and ALT levels in 3 cats
(21.4%) were detected.




























Conclusion:  It was concluded that clinical Toxoplasmosis
in cats is characterized by neurological, ocular and gastrointestinal sings and
hematological sings such as anemia, monocytosis, neutrophilia and hypoalbuminemia
that clinically patient cats should also be evaluated in terms of Toxoplasmosis
in cats.
