It is believed that canine parvovirus type 2 evolved either as a result of the
differentiation of the feline panleukopenia virus or from a mutation of another wildlife
virus type. Complete blood count is an inexpensive and straightforward method used
in both human and veterinary medicine for disease confirmation and for determining
the number and relationships of blood cells such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, and
platelets. While the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte
ratio (LMR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume-to-platelet ratio
(MPV/PLT), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammatory
response index (SIRI) are frequently used for confirming inflammatory diseases in
human medicine, these markers have only recently begun to be utilized in veterinary
medicine. This study focuses on investigating these markers in dogs with parvoviral
enteritis that are showing symptoms of systemic inflammatory response syndrome
(SIRS). The study consists of two groups: a control group (22 healthy dogs of different
breeds) and a patient group (60 dogs of different breeds). It was found that the values
of WBC, NEU, NLR, SIRI, and SII were higher in the patient group compared to the
control group. There was no significant difference between the groups in other
haematological parameters. In conclusion, it was determined that hematologic indices
yield significant results in dogs with parvoviral enteritis complicated by SIRS, and that
these indices are valuable for validating inflammatory conditions associated with
parvoviral enteritis.
