Resumen
En el presente estudio participaron 120 caninos, clínicamente sanos de la región central
de Costa Rica, con edades entre 6 meses y diez años, de ambos sexos y de varias razas,. Los
eritrocitos de los animales se tipificaron con anticuerpos policlonales anti DEA-1.1 (Midwest
Animal Blood Services®), determinándose una frecuencia del grupo sanguíneo DEA-1.1, de
53.3%, en la población general; estos valores son mayores que los descritos en la literatura.
También, se encontró que existe un riesgo de 24.8%, de que un perro DEA-1.1 negativo
produzca anticuerpos al recibir sangre DEA-1.1 positiva y un riesgo de 13.3%, de que sufra
una reacción transfusional hemolítica aguda, si ese mismo perro recibe sangre DEA-1.1
positiva al azar, por segunda vez. Se determinó la frecuencia de distribución del grupo
sanguíneo DEA-1.1 en hembras y machos, así como en animales de raza definida y sin raza
definida y se concluyó que no existe una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre ellos.
Con este estudio se aportan las bases para la investigación acerca de grupos sanguíneos de
caninos en nuestro país y a su vez, se reportan los primeros rangos referenciales para los
valores hematológicos de caninos de Costa Rica, estimados por medio de conteos manuales.
For the present study, a total of 120 clinically healthy dogs from Costa Rica`s central region were included. Their ages ranged from six months to ten years old, both sexes were represented as well as different breeds. Dogs’ erythrocytes were typed with anti DEA-1.1 polyclonal antibodies (Midwest Animal Blood Services®). We found that 53.3% were DEA1.1 positive; a frequency higher than reported by the literature. It was also calculated a 24.8% risk for a DEA-1.1 negative dogs, to produce antibodies when receiving DEA-1.1 positive blood, and a 13.3% risk for these dogs of suffering an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction, if receiving DEA-1.1 positive blood again. The frequency of the DEA-1.1 blood group was established for both sexes and the different breeds (mongrels included). No statically difference between them was found. Additionally to the information on canine blood groups, the present work offers information, for the first time in Costa Rica, on the reference ranges for hematological values, estimated by manual counts.
