Title: Necrotizing Enteritis Caused by Pharyngostomum cordatum Infection in a Stray Cat Document date: 2019_2_26
ID: s3agg94u_11
Snippet: Intestinal fluke infestations in cats can either be asymptomatic or cause abdominal pain, appetite loss, weakness, and diarrhea. Although the main clinical sign of P. cordatum-infected cats is chronic diarrhea, this symptom is often absent in affected animals [18] . In a previous report, for example, only 1 of 4 infected cats developed diarrhea, whereas the remainder showed no clinical abnormalities [18] . In this case, we did not have access to .....
Document: Intestinal fluke infestations in cats can either be asymptomatic or cause abdominal pain, appetite loss, weakness, and diarrhea. Although the main clinical sign of P. cordatum-infected cats is chronic diarrhea, this symptom is often absent in affected animals [18] . In a previous report, for example, only 1 of 4 infected cats developed diarrhea, whereas the remainder showed no clinical abnormalities [18] . In this case, we did not have access to exact clinical symptoms because the cat was found after death. Although viruses and bacteria are also capable of causing diarrhea in cats, and the enteritis presented in this case study is similar to parvoviral enteritis, screening did not detect any viral or bacterial presence. We concluded that the pathology observed in the dead cat originated from P. cordatum infection, as it was the only etiological agent identified.
