Virus reactivation in bitches with a medical history of herpesvirus infection

1993

Virologic and pathologic investigations were done on prednisolone-treated bitches with a history of canine herpesvirus (CHV) infection. Reactivation of CHV was demonstrated in 5 Beagle bitches after daily administration of 600 mg of prednisolone for 5 days. The reactivation was confirmed in 4 of 5 bitches. Canine herpesvirus was recovered from nasal, oral, vaginal, and ocular secretions on the 5th to 2lst days after initiation of treatment with prednisolone, and also from nasal mucosa and tonsil tissues. Results indicated that latent CHV infections develop and that the virus may be reactivated, without clinical signs, in dogs with a history of CHV infection.
