Resumo
A panleucopenia é causada por um parvovírus que afeta sobretudo gatos jovens, sem vacinação ou com vacinação incompleta. Os sinais característicos da doença são leucopenia, vómitos e diarreia. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a casuística de panleucopenia felina. Trata-se de um estudo transversal e retrospetivo, que inclui uma amostra de conveniência de 45 animais, no período de fevereiro de 2016 até janeiro de 2018, que se apresentaram à consulta no Hospital Veterinário da Associação Zoófila Portuguesa. Sendo um estudo retrospetivo, as informações descritas foram recolhidas dos arquivos e sistema informático do hospital, incluindo identificação do animal, exames complementares efetuados e respetivos resultados, tratamento instituído e desfecho do caso. Após o tratamento dos dados e análise dos mesmos verificou-se que a idade não influenciava o prognóstico, a maioria dos animais não estavam vacinados e que 40% dos animais morreram. Os resultados sugerem que a panleucopenia felina é uma doença infeciosa com elevada casuística, com mau prognóstico e que pode ser prevenida com boas medidas hígiosanitárias.

The principal clinical signs are leucopenia, vomiting and diarrhea. The aim of this study was to analyze the cases of feline panleucopenia. A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out with a convenience sample of 45 cats, between February 2016 and January 2018, who presented for consultation at the Hospital Veterinário da Associação Zoófila Portuguesa. As a retrospective study, the information described was collected from the files and computer data of the hospital, including identification of the animal, complementary exams and their results, treatment and the outcome of the case. The analysis of the data showed that the age age did not influenced the prognosis, the majority of the animals were not vaccinated and 40% of the infected animals died. The results suggest that feline panleucopenia is a infectious disease with a high casuistic, with poor prognosis and can be prevented with good hygienic measures.
