  3. 2. Idiopatisk meningoencefalomyelit hos hund

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Erik Jönsson; [2017]
    Keywords : granulomatös; nekrotiserande; MUO; idiopatisk meningoencefalomyelit;

    Abstract : Idiopatisk meningoencefalomyelit delas upp i formerna: granulomatös meningoencefalomyelit (GME), nekrotiserande meningoencefalomyelit (NME) och nekrotiserande leukoencefalit (NLE) och drabbar framförallt små och yngre hundar vilka får centralnervösa symptom med hög dödlighet. Det saknas idag kunskap om varför och hur sjukdomarna uppstår och syftet med studien är därför att redogöra för vilka tänkbara etiologier som finns beskrivna för sjukdomen, vilka patologiska förändringar sjukdomarna ger upphov och hur diagnos ställs utifrån detta.
