Article Synopsis
- Leptospirosis is a serious bacterial infection in dogs that can lead to severe complications like pulmonary hemorrhagic syndrome (LPHS), and the study aims to understand certain blood ratio indicators in affected dogs.
- The study involved comparing 36 dogs with leptospirosis to 32 healthy control dogs, analyzing neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelets to lymphocytes (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII).
- Findings suggest that NLR significantly increased in infected dogs, while SII showed a notable difference in survivors, indicating NLR could serve as a marker for inflammation, but further research is needed on PLR and SII for canine leptospirosis.
Leishmaniasis is a zoonotic disease caused by Leishmania spp., impacts multiple systems and organs. While hematological and biochemical profiles aren't definitive for diagnosis, recent studies have identified the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as predictors of morbidity and mortality in critically ill human and dog patients.

In Group 1, medetomidine (10 µg/kg) was administered intramuscularly and, in Group 2, dexmedetomidine (5 µg/kg) was used.
