A 1-year and 6-month-old, intact male, Shit-tzu dog was referred to the Konkuk University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, due to ascite, melena, severe anemia, and polyuria/polydipsia. Complete blood count showed moderate leukocytosis, lymphocytosis, monocytosis, and microcytic hypochromic nonregenerative anemia. On serum biochemistry profiles, hypoalbuminema and hypoproteinemia were observed, and proteinuria was detected on urinalysis.

This study was carried out to evaluate indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and complement fixation test (CFT) of Theileria equi diagnosis in sera samples of 79 horses at Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), Seropédica, RJ, Brazil were tested. Positive reaction was obtained in 74.7, 75.9 and 60.8% of samples tested by IFAT, indirect ELISA and CFT, respectively. Discrepancy was observed in 16.45% (n=13) of serum samples tested by ELISA and IFAT. While IFAT and CFT were compared, the discrepancy observed among the samples tested were 36.71% (n=29). Indirect ELISA and CFT test presented disagreement in 37.97% (n=30) of serum samples tested. Results of present study suggests that the best alternative for serological diagnosis T. equi in carriers horses is the combined use of IFAT and indirect ELISA test, especially for accomplishment of seroepidemiological studies. | Este trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar a reação de imunofluorescência indireta (RIFI), ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA) e a reação de fixação do complemento (RFC) no diagnóstico de Theileria equi em amostras de soro de 79 equinos na Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), Seropédica, RJ, Brasil. Houve reação positiva para Theileria equi em 74,7, 75,9 e 60,8% das amostras testadas pela RIFI, ELISA e RFC, respectivamente. Observou-se discrepância em 16,45% (n=13) das amostras de soro testadas pelo ELISA indireto e RIFI. Quando comparado a RIFI e a RFC, a discrepância observada entre os soros testados foi de 36,70% (n=29). O teste ELISA indireto e a RFC apresentaram discordância em 37,97% (n=30) das amostras de soros. Os resultados do presente estudo sugerem que a melhor alternativa para o diagnóstico sorológico de T. equi em eqüinos portadores é a associação dos testes de RIFI e ELISA indireto, especialmente para a realização de estudos soroepidemiológicos.
