영문 초록

A 2-month-old intact female Labrador Retriever, weighing 3.6kg, was presented with the primary complaint of severe hemorrhagic diarrhea with hypoalbuminemia, anorexia and weight loss. Abdominal ultrasound revealed intussusception. Despite correction of ileoileal intussusception through emergency surgery, intravenous infusion of albumin and peripheral parentheral nutrition (PPN) therapy, the patient’s condition gradually deteriorated and the dog died 2 days after surgery. The fecal sample was obtained during the operation and revealed that the patient was Cryptosporidium spp positive by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analysis. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with ileoileal intussusception with intestinal cryptosporidiosis. This report describes the rare case of canine ileoileal intussusception concurrent with cryptosporidisosis. Despite aggressive treatment, the dog died of severe clinical symptoms, and a correlation between the two disease is strongly suspected. In addition, cryptosporidiosis is a common protozoan infectious disease that causes environmental pollution, especially infection through food or water, and in this case, the diagnosis in young dogs suggests that it can spread to humans. This could be a hazard to public health issue.
