    Valor pronóstico de proteína C reactiva (PCR) en pacientes caninos con diagnóstico de parvovirosis en la ciudad de Ambato
    (2021-03) Córdova Jácome, Christian Alexander; Villamarín Barragán, Darwin Rafael
    Parvovirosis is a worldwide viral disease that affects dogs of all breeds and ages, however, it is shown that the conditions are more severe in puppy patients. In the present research, C-reactive PCR protein values were determined as a prognostic value in patients diagnosed with parvovirosis by the Bionote immunochromatography test, in three veterinary clinics with a higher affluence in the city of Ambato. We used 40 canine specimens divided into 4 groups to which a blood sample was extracted from the jugular vein. Using the V chek team, blood samples from the patients were analyzed, determining a high correlation between the CRP value and the days of hospitalization in the group comprising puppies from 1 to 3 months, that is to say, the higher the CRP value, the more days of hospitalization; the second group comprised puppies from 3 to 6 months of age, the hospitalization time was constant from 4 to 5 days, and we had a moderate correlation with the CRP value. In patients 6 months and older, the hospitalization time was constant from 1 to 2 days, regardless of the degree of CRP, having a very low correlation. The correlation between weight and PCR value in all groups was low. The last group represents the control group. In addition, clinical signs of SIRS systemic inflammatory response syndrome (heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, capillary filling time, blood pressure) were taken determining that in this disease at least 3 physiological constants are altered in all groups indicating that there is a degree of systemic inflammation.
