Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to measure vitamin D levels in Feline Herpesvirus Type-1 (FeHV-1) infected cats and thus to determine its relationship with the disease activity. The animal material of this study was composed of 20 cats of different breeds, ages and genders, which showed clinical symptoms of the disease and were diagnosed with Feline Herpesvirus infection by rapid test. The control group of the study consisted of 10 cats of different breeds, ages and genders, which were healthy according to the results of routine physical examination, laboratory works, which were brought for the purpose of vaccination, and which were determined to be Feline Herpesvirus Type-1 antigen negative with the rapid test. Blood samples were taken from cats in both groups and 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 levels were determined by the fluorescent immunoassay method. The mean standard deviation values of 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 levels in FeHV-1 infected cats and healthy cats were found to be 33.30 and 64.70 ng/ml, respectively. FeHV-1 infected cats showed a significant decrease in serum vitamin D levels compared to healthy cats in the control group. As a result, vitamin D deficiency may have an effect on the formation of the disease.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, FeHV-1 ile enfekte kedilerde D vitamin düzeylerinin ölçülmesi ve böylelikle hastalık aktivitesi ile olan ilişkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Bu çalışmanın hayvan materyalini hastalığa ait klinik semptom gösteren ve yapılan hızlı test ile Feline Herpes Virus enfeksiyonu tanısı konulan değişik ırk, yaş ve cinsiyette 20 adet kedi oluşturdu. Çalışmanın kontrol grubunu ise aşılama amacı ile getirilen rutin fizik muayene ile hemogram ve kan biyokimyası sonuçlarına göre sağlıklı olan ve yapılan hızlı test ile Feline Herpesvirus Tip-1 antijen negatif olarak belirlenen değişik ırk, yaş ve cinsiyette 10 adet kedi oluşturdu. Her iki gruptaki kedilerden alınan kan örnekleri santrifüje edildikten sonra serumları ayrıştırılarak ve analizleri yapılana kadar - 20 °C saklandı. Bu numunelerden daha sonra Florösan immunoassay yöntemi ile 25 hidroksi vitamin D3 düzeyleri belirlendi. FeHV-1 ile enfekte kediler ve sağlıklı kedilerde 25 hidroksi vitamin D3 seviyelerine ait ortalama standart sapma değerleri gruplara göre sırası ile 33,30 ve 64,70 ng/ml olarak saptandı. FeHV-1 ile enfekte kedilerde, serum vitamin D düzeylerinde kontrol grubundaki sağlıklı kedilere göre önemli oranda düşme şekillenmiştir. Sonuç olarak D vitamini eksikliğinin hastalığın oluşumu üzerine etkisi olabilir
