Retrospective study on the etiology and clinical signs of canine otitis

Retrospective study on the etiology and clinical signs of canine otitis The survey comprised 5870 dogs with surgical diagnoses for the period 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2014, out of which 269 (4.58%) were diagnosed with otitis. The total number of isolates was 53: 17 coagulase-positive staphylococci, 2 beta-hemolytic staphylococci, 16 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 7 Proteus mirabilis, 9 Malassezia pachydermatis, and 2 Candida spp. Bacterial and fungal infections were most frequently encountered in the summer (26; 49.06%) then in the autumn (13 isolates, 24.54%), and winter and spring (7 isolates, 13.21%). The highest number of isolates (21.4%) was resistant to chloramphenicol, followed by those resistant to gentamicin (16.6%), enrofloxacin (14.3%), and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (9.5%). Head shaking was the commonest clinical sign (59.48%), followed by ear scratching (88 dogs), pain (81 dogs), and ear discharge (71 dogs). Acute otitis cases were 53.53%, followed by chronic (29.37%) and recurrent cases (17.10%). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Comparative Clinical Pathology Springer Journals

Abstract

The survey comprised 5870 dogs with surgical diagnoses for the period 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2014, out of which 269 (4.58%) were diagnosed with otitis. The total number of isolates was 53: 17 coagulase-positive staphylococci, 2 beta-hemolytic staphylococci, 16 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 7 Proteus mirabilis, 9 Malassezia pachydermatis, and 2 Candida spp. Bacterial and fungal infections were most frequently encountered in the summer (26; 49.06%) then in the autumn (13 isolates, 24.54%), and winter and spring (7 isolates, 13.21%). The highest number of isolates (21.4%) was resistant to chloramphenicol, followed by those resistant to gentamicin (16.6%), enrofloxacin (14.3%), and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (9.5%). Head shaking was the commonest clinical sign (59.48%), followed by ear scratching (88 dogs), pain (81 dogs), and ear discharge (71 dogs). Acute otitis cases were 53.53%, followed by chronic (29.37%) and recurrent cases (17.10%).
