利什曼病是一种由不同种类的利什曼原虫和宿主共同感染的虫体病，临床表现多样，对公共卫生具有重要意义。本文描述了一例由亚马逊利什曼原虫引起的犬利什曼病，来自巴西巴拉那州的坎贝镇。这种状态被认为是美国皮肤利什曼病（ACL）在人类中的地方病，但这是该地区第一次在狗中报告，由L。亚马逊河。应用多位点酶电泳技术对利什曼原虫进行了分类鉴定。临床体征与内脏利什曼病中观察到的相似，如多关节炎和进行性体重减轻。结论：与利什曼病相关的多发性关节炎不能被认为是仅与利什曼病相关的临床体征。chagasi鉴于L.亚马逊河流域也有这种现象。LTA成为犬多发性关节炎的鉴别诊断。
Leishmaniasis are antropozoonoses involving various species of Leishmania and hosts, with variable clinical presentations and considered of great importance to public health. This article describes a case of canine leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania amazonensis, from the town of Cambe, Parana state, Brazil. This state is considered endemic for American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) in humans, but this is the first report in a dog in the region, caused by L. amazonensis. The taxonomic characterization of Leishmania was performed by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis technique (MLEE). Clinical signs were similar to those observed in visceral leishmaniasis as polyarthritis and progressive weight loss. It is concluded that the related polyarthritis when related to leishmaniasis, cannot be considered a clinical sign associated only with L. chagasi in view of the L. amazonensis also has this as one of its presentations. The LTA becomes a differential diagnosis of polyarthritis in dogs.
