Resumo
A sépsis é uma condição que, independentemente do avanço da medicina, apresenta elevadas taxas de mortalidade em medicina humana e em medicina veterinária. Independentemente da causa que leva ao seu desenvolvimento, o prognóstico desta patologia continua a ser um desafio.
Foram avaliados cinco canídeos que se apresentaram ao Hospital Veterinário da Arrábida (HVA), em Azeitão, que durante o tempo de internamento desenvolveram sinais clínicos compatíveis com sépsis durante os meses de Dezembro de 2009 a Fevereiro de 2010. Dos cinco pacientes com sépsis dois desenvolveram coagulação intravascular disseminada (CID). Não se observaram casos de sépsis em gatos.
O objectivo deste estudo foi determinar a importância da hipotermia, hiperbilirrubinémia, hipoalbuminémia, hipoglicémia e hipotensão como factores de prognóstico no decorrer da patologia.

Of the five patients with sepsis, all developed disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). No cats were diagnosed with sepsis. The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of hypothermia, hyperbilirrubinaemia, hypoalbuminemia, hypoglycemia and hypotension as prognostic factors in the course of the disease.
