J G Spearman, P Hunt, P S Nayar

    The Canadian Veterinary Journal = La Revue Veterinaire Canadienne
    |December 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection was diagnosed in a cat presenting with malaise, anorexia, and vomiting. Liver biopsies revealed caseation necrosis with Gram-negative coccobacilli, confirming the bacterial cause.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Feline Pathology

    Background:

    • Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a zoonotic bacterial pathogen that can cause disease in various animal species.
    • Feline infections with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis are uncommon, making diagnosis and management challenging.

    Observation:

    • A cat presented with clinical signs including general malaise, anorexia, and vomiting.
    • Laboratory findings revealed elevated serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and the presence of bilirubin and urobilinogen in urine.

    Findings:

    • Microbiological and histological examinations confirmed a diagnosis of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.
    • Histopathology of liver biopsies showed multifocal caseation necrosis containing numerous Gram-negative coccobacilli.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal and hepatic diseases in cats.
    • Understanding the bacteriological techniques, treatment, and control measures is crucial for managing feline Yersiniosis.
