    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2010-04-08) Çeçen, Göksen; Töre, E. Pınar; Çelimli, Nurettin; Kocatürk, Meriç; Batmaz, Elçin; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi.
    Safkan İngiliz ırkı, erkek, 4 yaşlı bir at yarış sonrasında boynun her iki tarafının şişmesi ve sonrasında boynunu hareket ettirmekte isteksiz olması şikâyetleri ile getirildi. İnspeksiyonda, sağ regio sulcus jugularis’te lokal kıl dökülmeleri ve eski fistül yaraları görüldü. Palpasyonunda ise lokal hassasiyet ve yaklaşık 18 cm’lik vena jugularis çevresinde yumuşak doku sertliği algılandı. Ultrasonografik muayenede, birbiri içine girmiş ekojenik ve hipoekoik halka şeklindeki damar katmanları belirlendi. Tromboflebitis purulenta tanısı konularak sağ vena jugularis’in cerrahi parsiyal rezeksiyonu gerçekleştirildi. Postoperatif erken dönem ve sonrasında herhangi bir komplikasyonla karşılaşılmadı.

    Evaluation of red blood cell and platelet ındices in cattle naturally ınfected with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV)
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2010-07-08) Yeşilbağ, Kadir; Kocatürk, Meriç; Yılmaz, Zeki; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi.
    The aim of this study was to evaluate red blood cell (RBC) and platelet indices in addition to white blood cell counts in cattle naturally infected with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). A total of 32 cattle, unvaccinated against BVDV, aged from 4 months to 9 months, were evaluated. Twenty two of them had clinical disorders regarding respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms in which BVDV infection was virologically confirmed. Remaining 10 (BVDV free-cattle) were clinically healthy and used as controls. RBC indices (mean corpuscular volume [MCV], mean corpuscular hemoglobin [MCH], MCH concentration [MCHC], and RBC distribution width [RDW]) and platelet indices (plateletcrit [PCT], mean platelet volume [MPV], and platelet size distribution width [PDW]) were determined on a Cell-Dyn hematology analyzer. Hematological findings included neutrophilic leukocytosis or neutropenic leukopenia, lymphopenia, and monocytosis in BVDV-infected cattle. RBC, haemoglobin, and RDW were higher (P<.001) in infected cattle, but MCV was lower (P<.001), than those of controls. Platelet count, MPV, and PDW were higher in infected cattle, compared with controls (P<.05). In conclusion, changes in RBC and platelet indices may reflect changes in RBC and platelet production and reactivity. These indices should be used routinely during the diagnostic workup for BVDV infection in cattle practice.
