The dog was mildly anemic and severely thrombocytopenic and had high serum alanine aminotransferase activity. Infection with Bartonella vinsonii (berkhoffii) was initially diagnosed on the basis of serologic testing. Despite treatment with a series of antimicrobials and prolonged use of immunosuppressive drugs, thrombocytopenia persisted. After 5 months of treatment, Babesia canis organisms were seen during examination of a direct blood smear. The dog was treated with imidocarb dipropionate for babesiosis, after which thrombocytopenia resolved, and administration of immunosuppressive drugs was discontinued. Retrospective review of blood smears failed to identify organisms; however, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of multiple stored blood samples obtained during the 5-month period of persistent thrombocytopenia identified DNA of B. canis vogeli. Babesiosis may cause persistent, unexplained thrombocytopenia in dogs that are not anemic. A PCR assay can facilitate a diagnosis of babesiosis when organisms are not evident or when serologic testing fails to detect Babesia-specific antibodies.}, number={9}, journal={Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association}, publisher={American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)}, author={Tuttle, Allison D. and Birkenheuer, Adam J. and Juopperi, Tarja and Levy, Michael G. and Breitschwerdt, Edward B.}, year={2003}, month={Nov}, pages={1306–1310} } @article{juopperi_cesta_tomlinson_grindem_2003, title={Extensive cutaneous metastases in a dog with duodenal adenocarcinoma}, volume={32}, ISSN={["0275-6382"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1939-165X.2003.tb00320.x}, abstractNote={Abstract: A 6‐year‐old Rottweiler was presented to the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine for evaluation of multiple cutaneous nodules. The dog had a history of anorexia, vomiting, and hind‐limb paraplegia. Results of cytologic examination of the cutaneous nodules were consistent with a round cell tumor. At necropsy, primary tumors were found coalescing in the duodenum and the pancreas and extending into the associated mesentery. Numerous masses also were found throughout the skin, abdominal and thoracic viscera, and lumbar spinal cord. Histologically, the duodenal tumor had variable morphology, with some areas resembling adenocarcinoma and others resembling anaplastic round cell neoplasia; the skin and other metastatic lesions resembled round cell neoplasia. Immunohistochemistry of the cutaneous, duodenal, and pancreatic masses showed the neoplastic cells were positive for pancytokeratin, supporting an epithelial origin. In addition, low numbers of neoplastic cells were positive for periodic acid‐Schiff and Alcian blue, consistent with acid mucin production by duodenal epithelium. These findings confirmed that the cutaneous nodules were metastatic lesions originating from the duodenal adenocarcinoma. Cutaneous metastasis of intestinal carcinoma is rare in domestic animals. This case demonstrates the potential difficulty in diagnosing metastatic lesions based on cytologic and histologic morphology alone, because the cutaneous metastases may not resemble the primary neoplasm morphologically.}, number={2}, journal={VETERINARY CLINICAL PATHOLOGY}, author={Juopperi, TA and Cesta, M and Tomlinson, L and Grindem, CB}, year={2003}, pages={88–91} } @article{grindem_neel_juopperi_2002, title={Cytology of bone marrow}, volume={32}, ISSN={["1878-1306"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-0036855473&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1016/S0195-5616(02)00052-9}, abstractNote={Cytologic assessment of bone marrow with knowledge of the hemogram represents an effective method to investigate hemic tissue and its function. To determine the spectrum and prevalence of canine bone marrow disorders over a 2 year period in a diagnostic laboratory setting achieved through a standard approach to cytologic bone marrow assessment. A retrospective study of bone marrow fine needle aspirates sample preparations, blood smears, hemogram data and case records. Of the 295 bone marrow samples evaluated, 90 (30.5%) were nondiagnostic samples. Of the remaining samples, 25.1% were classified as hyperplasia of which most were granulocytic hyperplasia (58.1% of the total hyperplasia), 19.3% had no cytological abnormalities, 12.9% had malignant hemopathy and 7.8% had hypo-aplastic conditions. Only a small proportion of cases involved dysplasia (1.7%) and metastatic disease was detected in only one case (0.3%). Reference values of nucleated cells and the M/E ratio were calculated for normal and erythroid and granulocytic hyperplastic bone marrow. This study provides the spectrum and the prevalence of canine bone marrow disorders as well as a differential bone marrow cell counting and determination of reference intervals for diseases.}, number={6}, journal={VETERINARY CLINICS OF NORTH AMERICA-SMALL ANIMAL PRACTICE}, author={Grindem, CB and Neel, JA and Juopperi, TA}, year={2002}, month={Nov}, pages={1313-+} } @inproceedings{swanson_lewbart_harms_blasiola_juopperi_gratzek_2002, title={Fish Health Management.
