Resumo
O controlo de infeção em medicina veterinária é um tema relativamente novo, o que se traduz num conhecimento limitado sobre estratégias para a prevenção da transmissão de doenças infeciosas dentro de instalações veterinárias. A componente prática do estágio curricular do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária foi realizada no Hospital Veterinário do Baixo Vouga (HVBV), entre o dia 3 de setembro de 2018 e 16 de fevereiro de 2019. Durante este período foram analisados 36 casos de estudo. Todos esses casos eram relacionados com as três doenças infeciosas que apresentaram maior ocorrência no hospital veterinário: parvovirose canina, panleucopenia felina e doença respiratória do trato superior felino. Desses casos são apresentados 7 casos, com especial ênfase no controlo da infeção veterinária. A primeira parte do presente trabalho tem como objetivo a realização de uma compilação sobre as medidas fundamentais no controlo da infeção e consciencialização da importância da sua implementação. No controlo e prevenção da infeção existem 3 categorias principais: diminuição da sensibilidade do hospedeiro, aumento da resistência do hospedeiro e diminuição da exposição do hospedeiro a agentes infeciosos. Na segunda parte, de acordo com os casos clínicos observados durante a realização do estágio curricular, optou-se por aprofundar as três doenças infeciosas acima mencionadas, realizando para cada uma delas uma revisão bibliográfica, exposição detalhada de alguns dos casos clínicos observados e, para concluir, uma breve discussão sobre os casos apresentados em cada grupo dando particular ênfase ao controlo da infeção.
Infection control in veterinary medicine is a relatively new topic, which translates into limited knowledge about strategies for the prevention of transmission of infectious diseases within veterinary facilities, ie health care associated infections. The practical component of the curricular internship on my Master's degree in Veterinary Medicine was carried out at the Veterinary Hospital of Baixo Vouga (HVBV) between the 3rd of September 2018 and the 16th of February 2019. During this period, 36 case studies were analyzed. All of those were related to the three infectious diseases with the highest occurrence in the veterinary hospital: canine parvovirus, feline panleukopenia and feline upper respiratory tract disease, of which 7 cases were presented, with special emphasis on infection control. The first part of the dissertation aims to make a compilation on the fundamental measures of infection control and on the importance of its implementation. On infection control and prevention, there are 3 main categories: decrease in host susceptibility, increase in host resistance and decrease in host exposure to infectious agents. On the second part of this document, according to the clinical cases observed during the curricular internship, the three infectious diseases mentioned above are further reviewed. For all three there’s a bibliographic review, a few of the clinical cases observed are presentend and detailed, and to conclude, a brief discussion about the cases and measures of infection control was presentend in each group.
