Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the alterations in hematology
parameters in relations to the different clinical forms in seropositive dogs to
Leishmania infantum (L. infantum). Thirty seropositive dogs for Canine
leishmaniasis (CanL) confirmed with an indirect fluorescent antibody test
(IFAT), according to the clinical signs were allocated to three equal groups:
asymptomatic (AD), oligosymptomatic (OD) and symptomatic dogs (SD).
Blood samples were collected for hematology parameters analysis in all
groups. A significant anemic profile was observed in the SD that correlates
to the presence of specific symptoms in SD. Reduced granulocytes count and
percentage in the SD and increased number of lymphocytes in the OD
indicates on the complexity of immune response in the different clinical
forms of CanL. The hematological changes can be considered a useful
complementary tool for further evaluation of disease progression and
prognosis in different clinical forms of CanL.
Keywords: Leishmaniasis, clinical form, hematology, dogs.
