Resumen
Durante el período comprendido entre el 22 de setiembre y el 21 de diciembre del 2007 se
realizó una pasantía en el Servicio de Patología de la Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria,
Universidad de Florida. Durante ese tiempo, en total se realizaron 128 necropsias de diferentes
especies. De ellas, 12 (9.4%) fueron aves no productivas, tanto en cautiverio como de vida
libre.
Los sistemas o aparatos mayormente afectados fueron de forma respectiva, el gastrointestinal,
el cardiovascular, y el osteo-articular. Sin embargo, aunque en menor cantidad, los restantes
sistemas también fueron afectados.
Todos los casos ingresaban a la sala de necropsia, con su historial clínico. Independientemente
de la historia clínica, la necropsia se realizaba de forma completa y se efectuaba la descripción
de las principales alteraciones macroscópicas. En los casos que se consideraba pertinente, se
tomaron muestras para examen histopatológico u otras pruebas ancilares (bacteriología,
virología, parasitología, toxicología, etc.). Un patólogo acreditado por ACVP (American
College of Veterinary Pathologists) se encargó de discutir los resultados para llegar finalmente
al diagnóstico final. De estos, los más comunes en esta pasantía fueron nefritis (4), nefrosis (4)
y endoparasitismo (3).
Between September 22nd and December 21st 2007 a Pathology Externship was carried out at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida. A total of 128 necropsies were performed in different animal species. Out of these, 12 (9.4%) correspond to exotic and wild birds. The most affected organ systems were gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and osteoarticular. Nevertheless, all organ systems were affected. Cases were submitted for necropsy with their clinical history. Complete necropsies were performed and all major gross changes reported. In cases where deemed appropriate, samples were taken for histopathology examination and any other ancillary diagnostic tests (bacteriology, virology, parasitology, toxicology, etc.). All cases are reviewed by an ACVP boarded pathologist and a final diagnosis is made. The most common diagnoses were nephritis (4), nephrosis (4), and endoparasitism (3).
