Abstract

A case of pyometra in sexually intact, 8 years old tabby queen cat of 5 kg body weight which was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of polyuria, polydypsia, lethargy and unusual abdominal extension was presented in this article. Leucocytosis , increased urea and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and decreased albümin were determined in the queen which was free from feline viral diseases. In ultrasonographic examination, abdominal expansion was found to be due to the unusual enlargement in cornu uteries and pyometra, thus ovariohysterectomy was performed for treatment. Total uterine weight was 2.4 kg. By microbiological examination on exudat of cornu uteries, Mannheimia haemolytica was detected which has not previously been reported to be isolated from pyometra cases. As a results of this case study, it was emphasized that Mannheimia haemolytica can be isolated in feline pyometra and can cause an increase in uterine volume close to the body weight of the queen.

Özet

Bu yazıda, kısırlaştırılmamış, 8 yaşında, 5 kg ağırlığında olan ve çok su içme, çok idrar yapma, iştahsızlık, karında aşırı şişlik şikayetleriyle kliniğimize getirilen dişi bir tekir kedideki pyometra olgusu sunulmaktadır. Yapılan testler sonucunda viral hastalıklar yönünden negatif olduğu belirlenen kedide, lökositozun yanısıra üre ve aspartat aminotransferaz (AST) değerlerinin yüksek, albumin değerinin ise düşük olduğu saptandı. Ultrasonografik muayenede aşırı abdominal genişlemenin, pyometra nedeniyle olduğu saptandıktan sonra, sağaltım amacıyla ovariohisterektomi uygulandı. Alınan uterusun ağırlığı toplam 2.4 kg olarak ölçüldü. Pyometralı içerikten alınan örnekten mikrobiyolojik identifikasyon amacıyla yapılan ekim sonucunda, pyometra olgularında izole edildiğine dair literatür bilgiye rastlamadığımız, Mannheimia haemolytica saptandı. Sonuç olarak, sunulan bu olguda kedilerde pyometra olgularında Mannheimia haemolytica izole edilebileceği ve bu bakterinin kedinin canlı ağırlığına yakın boyutlara erişebilecek büyüklükte uterus hacminde artışa sebep olabileceği vurgulanmıştır.
