HEMATOLOGICAL BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN TICK-TRANSMITTED DISEASES

摘要

Infectious diseases are recognized with increased frequency in both general and referral practices. While many practitioners are diagnosing patients with classic signs and presentations, those with atypical presentations are frequently missed. A missed diagnosis often results in therapies that can lead to persistent illness or in some cases may actually worsen the outcome. Many factors are contributing the emergence of infectious diseases and include climate changes, urbanization, vector epidemiology, alternative forms of disease transmission, ease of animal transport and advanced diagnostic techniques. Veterinarians need to be vigilant for infectious diseases, especially in cases that don't respond to treatment and those in which things "just don't add up."
