Relatório de estágio curricular supervisionado em medicina veterinária - área de patologia veterinária

Abstract

The Supervised Curricular Internship at the end of the course was carried out in the Veterinary Pathology area, in the Veterinary Pathology Sector (SPV) of the Veterinary Faculty (FAVET) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), in the period between 2 March 2015 and June 19, 2015. The SPV is a national reference laboratory, aimed at diagnosing diseases of farm, companion and wild animals, through necropsy, anatomopathological and complementary exams. It is also a major center of scientific production through research, teaching and extension activities. The internship comprised a total of 570 hours with a workload of 40 hours per week. In total, 188 necropsy tests were performed, 47% (90) of which were canine, 17 (32%) feline, 14% (26) bovine, 9% (16) equine, 5% (10) wild and domestic birds, 3 % (6) sheep, 3% (5) swine and 2% (3) goats. 880 anatomopathological exams were performed, of which 648 biopsies and 241 cytological exams. Of the biopsies 75 (483) were canine, 10% (71) feline, 6% (41) swine, 3% (22) equine, 2% (18) bovine and 3% (13) wild. Of the cytological tests, 96% (232) were canine and 8% (9) were feline. The diagnosis of two cases was followed up and described in detail, with the epidemiological findings and macroscopic and microscopic changes. The cases were bovine rabies, which comprised a total of 10 necropsies, of which only two were described in detail and natural poisoning by Baccharis megapotamica var. weirii in goats. A third activity was described and corresponded to the monitoring of all immunohistochemistry techniques (IHC) performed in the laboratory, and the protocols used and their respective diagnostic purposes are reported, as well as the diseases frequently diagnosed using the technique. The supervised internship at SPV contributed significantly to professional training as a veterinarian, especially in the area of Veterinary Pathology, through the extensive routine of diagnosis of domestic and wild animals.
