Snippet: In conclusion, even though Baermann analysis and the rapid test should be used as first-line tools because of their availability, cost-effectiveness and non-invasiveness, they might be of lower sensitivity than BALF PCR analysis in early cases. Based on this small descriptive series, bronchoscopy and PCR on BALF may be considered in clinically-suspected dogs in which both rapid test and Baermann analysis are negative. Further studies including EL.....
Document: In conclusion, even though Baermann analysis and the rapid test should be used as first-line tools because of their availability, cost-effectiveness and non-invasiveness, they might be of lower sensitivity than BALF PCR analysis in early cases. Based on this small descriptive series, bronchoscopy and PCR on BALF may be considered in clinically-suspected dogs in which both rapid test and Baermann analysis are negative. Further studies including ELISA assays for antigens or antibodies are warranted to help select the most appropriate diagnostic tests in canine angiostrongylosis.
