Detecção do gênero Helicobacter em fragmentos de biopsia gástrica de cães e gatos / Detection of Helicobacter genus from gastric biopsy fragments of dogs and cats

Guerra, Priscila Regina January 2014 (has links)
Sinais clínicos de dispepsia são frequentemente observados em pequenos animais, recomendando-se nesses pacientes a pesquisa de Helicobacter sp., pois esse agente pode estar associado com a ocorrência desses distúrbios. Há poucos relatos de isolamento dessa bactéria em animais no Brasil. Portanto, o objetivo do estudo foi investigar a presença de Helicobacter sp. em pacientes com indicação de endoscopia digestiva alta, atendidos no Hospital de Clínicas Veterinárias da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, empregando os métodos diagnósticos mais comumente adotados para sua detecção. Foram colhidos fragmentos de biópsia gástrica de um total de 30 cães e gatos submetidos à endoscopia, que não faziam uso de medicação antimicrobiana e inibidores de bomba de prótons no período mínimo de quatro semanas anteriores à coleta. Os fragmentos foram submetidos ao teste rápido da ureia (URT), colorações histológicas (H&E, Warthin Starry-WS), imunohistoquímica (IHQ), semi-nested PCR, tendo como alvo o gene 16SrRNA e cultura. Foram considerados positivos para Helicobacter sp. os pacientes que apresentaram resultado positivo em pelo menos dois métodos diagnósticos. Em apenas três animais foram detectadas lesões macroscópicas durante a endoscopia e 17 apresentaram lesões histopatológicas na mucosa do estômago. O URT foi positivo em 25 amostras e Helicobacter foi isolado de oito animais. Lâminas coradas por H&E e WS monstraram bactérias com morfologia compatível em 20 e 26 amostras, respectivamente. As técnicas de IHQ e semi-nested PCR resultaram positivas em 27 e 28 amostras, respectivamente. Ao todo, 28 pacientes foram considerados positivos, sendo que IHQ e semi-nested PCR detectaram 96,4% e 100% desses, respectivamente. Dessa forma, conclui-se que ambas as técnicas podem ser recomendadas para a detecção de Helicobacter em pequenos animais. A presença de Helicobacter sp. pode ter causado os sinais gastrintestinais apresentados por cães e gatos incluídos no estudo, porém em muitos pacientes sintomáticos houve presença da bactéria na ausência de lesões microscópicas detectáveis. / Dyspepsia signs are frequently observed in small animals. In these patients, Helicobacter sp. investigation is recommended, since this pathogen may be associated with the occurrence of this kind of disorders. In Brazil there are few reports of Helicobacter sp. detection in small animals. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the presence of Helicobacter sp. by the most common methods adopted for diagnosis in patients referred for upper endoscopy at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. Thirty patients, which had not been using any antimicrobial drugs and proton pump inhibitors for at least four weeks prior the endoscopy, were selected for this study. The biopsy fragments were submitted to rapid urea test (URT), histological staining (H&E, Warthin Starry- WS), immunohistochemistry (IHC), semi-nested PCR targeting the 16S rRNA gene and culture. Patients that tested positive in at least two diagnostic methods were considered positive for Helicobacter sp. Macroscopic lesions were detected in only three animals during endoscopy, and seventeen had histopathological lesions in the stomach mucous. The URT resulted in 25 positive samples, while Helicobacter sp. was isolated from only eight patients. Histological staining (H&E and WS) showed bacteria with typical morphology in 20 and 26 samples, respectively. The IHC and semi-nested PCR were positive in 27 and 28 samples, respectively. A total of 28 patients were considered positive; among them IHC and semi-nested PCR resulted positive in 96.4% and 100%, respectively. In conclusion, both techniques can be recommended for Helicobacter sp. detection in small animals. Helicobacter infection may have been the cause of gastrointestinal signs detected in patients; however many symptomatic animals without microscopic lesions were also diagnosed positive.
