Özet
Bu vaka sunumunda bir sığır çiftliğinde Nerium oleander (zakkum) bitkisinin yaprakları ile oluştuğu düşünülen zehirlenmedeki patolojik bulgular tanımlanmıştır. Klinik olarak ani ölüm, anemi ve ishal gözlenen hayvanların nekropsilerinde akciğerler, kalp ve beyinde değişen derecelerde hiperemi, ödem ve peteşiyel kanamalar gözlendi. Histopatolojik incelemelerde kalp ve beyinde ödem, hiperemi ile yer yer kanama, miyosit ve nöronlarda da dejenerasyon ve nekroz belirlendi. Sonuç olarak; tespit edilen patolojik bulgular, yemliklerdeki zakkum yapraklarının görülmesi ve zakkum ağaçlarının kesilmesini takiben ölümlerin durması ile zehirlenmelerin zakkum bitkisine bağlı olarak oluştuğu kanısına varıldı.
In this case report, pathological findings in cattle poisoning that was thought to be caused by the leaves of Nerium oleander in a farm was described. Clinically, sudden death, anemia and diarrhea were seen. Post-mortem examination of the animals revealed changing degrees of hyperemia, edema, and petechial bleedings were observed. In histopathological examination, edema, hyperemia and occasional hemorrhage with degeneration and necrosis in myocytes and neurons in heart and brain were detected. Based on the pathological findings, observations of oleander leaves in the feeders and deaths after the oleander trees were cut down have verified the diagnosis of oleander poisoning in these cattle.
