圈养幼龄黑熊口腔念珠菌病的诊治

Diagnosis and Treatment of Oral Candidiasis of Infant Asiatic Black Bear(Ursus thibetanus)in Captivity

上海野生动物园人工育幼的2只幼龄黑熊(Ursus thibetanus)在3周龄左右同时感染口腔念珠菌,通过敷涂碘甘油进行局部治疗,口服伊曲康唑后恢复正常。该病多见于幼龄动物,症状为口腔黏膜、咽、舌和牙龈等处出现边界清楚的白色假膜。白色念珠菌(Candida albicans)作为致病原,常常引起机体全身反应,造成消化不良、发育迟缓等,若未得到及时治疗,严重的会危及生命。在圈养环境中,白色念珠菌极易通过消化道和呼吸道传播,通过诊断、用药和预防的经验,希望为黑熊的人工育幼提供相关技术指导。

Two artificially bred infant Asiatic black bears(Ursus thibetanus)in Shanghai wild animal park were infected with oral candidiasis at about three weeks of age,and then were recovered after applying iodine glycerin locally and systemic treatment with oral itraconazole.The disease is common in young cubs,and the symptoms are white pseudomembranes with clear boundaries on the oral mucosa,pharynx,tongue,and gums.As a pathogenic agent,Candida albicans often causes systemic reactions in the body,resulting in dyspepsia,growth retardation,etc.,which can be life-threatening if not treated in time.C.albicans is easily transmitted through digestive and respiratory tracts in captive environment,therefore through documenting relevant experience in diagnosis,medication and prevention,we hope to provide relevant technical guidance for artificial breeding of black bears.
