Abstract

Istraţivanje je obavljeno uvidom u ambulantne protokole pasa i maĉaka pregledanih u Parazitološko-dermatološkoj ambulanti Zavoda za parazitologiju i invazijske bolesti s klinikom Veterinarskog Fakulteta u Zagrebu u razdoblju od rujna 2015. do lipnja 2017. godine. U obzir su uzeti samo pacijenti s problemom pruriginoznog dermatitisa, ukupno 60 pasa i 23 maĉke. Svi psi i maĉke bili su razliĉite dobi, spola i pasmine. Cilj je bio odrediti udio buhavosti kao uzroka dermatitisa s pruritusom kod pasa i maĉaka.
Kod 51,7% pasa i 56,5% maĉaka uzrok pruriginoznog dermatitisa bile su buhe. Više od polovice obraĊenih pacijenata, toĉnije 60% pasa i 65,2% maĉaka, nije bilo zaštićeno od ektoparazita. Kod 18,3% pasa i 21,7% maĉaka tijekom kliniĉkog pregleda uoĉen je izmet buha, a promjene svojstvene alergijskom dermatitisu uzrokovanom njihovim ubodom kod 33,3% pasa i 34,8% maĉaka. Ostali parazitarni uzroĉnici pruriginoznog dermatitisa bili su Demodex canis (18,3%) i Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis (11,7%) kod pasa, te Otodectes cynotis (21,7%) kod maĉaka. Pruriginozni dermatitis ne-parazitarne etiologije imalo je 18,3% pasa i 21,7% maĉaka.

Abstract (english)

The research was performed at Department of Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases with Clinic. We reviewed all the outpatient protocols from the period of September 2015 to June 2017, and data concerning 60 dogs and 23 cats suffering from pruriginous dermatitis were included in the study. Dogs and cats were of different age, gender and breed. The aim was to determine the participation of flea infestation in development of pruriginous dermatitis.
Flea bites caused pruriginous dermatitis in 51,7% of dogs and 56,5% of cats. More than a half of patients, exactly 60% of dogs and 65,2% of cats, were untreated or inadequately treated with insecticidal products. Flea dirt was found in 18,3% of dogs and 27,7% of cats. Typical signs of flea allergy dermatitis were found in 33,3% of dogs and 34,8% of cats. The other parasites causing pruriginous dermatitis in dogs were Demodex canis (18,3%) and Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis (11,7%). In 21,7% of pruritic cats was found Otodectes cynotis. For 18,3% dogs and 21,7% cats pruriginous dermatitis was not of parasitological origin.
