| description | Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is caused by the infection with a rickettsial organism, Ehrlichia canis. This organism is replicated only in the cytoplasm of blood monocytes and tissue macrophages. CME has been reported throughout the world but at higher frequencies in tropical and subtropical regions. CME is often under-recognized since the disease is difficult to diagnose due to variable clinical signs, its different stages, and frequent co—infection with other tick-borne pathogens or other infectious agents. Clinical manifestations and the traditional diagnostic techniques such as hematology and demonstration of typical cytoplasmic E. canis-morulae in monocytes in blood smears have been used for the diagnosis of CME; however, the PCR—based diagnostic tests and serology methods based on specific antigens, are the most sensitive and specific for this disease. This article reviews the current literature covering the diagnosis of infection by E. canis in dogs. |

La ehrlichiosis monocítica canina (EMC) es causada por la infección de una rickettsia denominada Ehrlichia canis, este microorganismo se reproduce solamente en el citoplasma de los monocitos sanguíneos y macrófagos tisulares. La EMC ha sido reportada en todo el mundo, pero las frecuencias más altas se reportan en las regiones tropicales y subtropicales. La EMC no siempre es reconocida clínicamente, pues es difícil de diagnosticar debido a que los signos clínicos son variables, a que se presenta en diferentes fases y a la existencia de coinfecciones con otros patógenos transmitidos por garrapatas y otros agentes infecciosos. Las manifestaciones clínicas y las técnicas de diagnóstico tradicionales, como el diagnóstico hematológico y la demostración típica de mórulas de E. canis en el citoplasma de monocitos en frotis sanguíneos, se han utilizado para el diagnóstico de la EMC, sin embargo, las pruebas de diagnóstico por PCR y la serología mediante el uso de antígenos específicos son las pruebas más sensibles y específicas para el diagnóstico de la enfermedad. Este artículo presenta una revisión actualizada sobre el diagnóstico de la infección por E. canis en perros.
