Clinical examination showed a distended and painful abdomen and tympanic sounds on percussion. The patient also presented systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and a leukemoid reaction with leukocyte count of 77.9 x 10 \/L due to 62.32 x 10 \/L lymphocytes. The abdominal radiography showed distended tubular structures occupying most of the abdomen; dorsal displacement of the colon in the left-right lateral projection was also found. The ultrasonographic study also revealed tubular structures in the mid-abdomen that contained flowing fluid presenting mixed echogenicity and hyperechoic particles in suspension. The exploratory celiotomy showed that the uterine horns were distended and contained a mixture of gas and liquid, hence an ovariohysterectomy was performed. The uterine fluid was collected with aseptic technique into a syringe and submitted to the clinical pathology laboratory for aerobic and anaerobic culture and antibiotic sensitivity. Hafnia alvei (now classified as Hafnia paralvei) was identified as the causative bacterial agent. Pyometra caused by gas-producing bacteria is a rare condition and is known as emphysematous pyometra. There are only six reports in the literature of this condition in bitches. A wide range of vaginal bacteria has been found in dogs with pyometra, but to our knowledge this is the first report of emphysematous pyometra caused by Hafnia paralvei in dogs.Key words: veterinary surgery; uterus; emphysematous pyometra; Hafnia paralvei\u00a0Hafnia paralvei IZOLIRANA IZ EMFIZEMAZOTNE PIOMETRE PRI PSICIPovzetek:\u00a0V \u010dlanku poro\u010damo o primeru 9-letne samice pasme labradorec, ki je bil sprejet v Bolni\u0161nici za veterinarsko medicino z anamnezo gnojnih in smrdljivih izlo\u010dkov iz vulve, zmanj\u0161anim apetitom in postopnim pove\u010devanjem trebuha, kar je trajalo pribli\u017eno 20 dni pred obiskom veterinarja. Klini\u010dni pregled je pokazal napihnjen in bole\u010d trebuh in timpani\u010dne zvoke ob pretrkavanju.\u00a0 Pacientka je imela tudi sindrom sistemskega vnetnega odziva (SIRS) in pove\u010dano skupno \u0161tevilo levkocitov (77.9 x 10 \/L) zaradi povi\u0161anega \u0161tevila limfocitov (62.32 x 10 \/L). Rentgenska slika trebuha je pokazala raz\u0161irjene cevaste strukture, ki so zasedale ve\u010dino trebuha; na stranski projekciji (levo-desno) pa so ugotovili tudi dorzalni premik debelega \u010drevesa. Ultrazvo\u010dni pregled je prav tako pokazal cevaste strukture v sredini trebuha, ki so vsebovale teko\u010dino me\u0161ane ehogenosti s hiperehoi\u010dnimi delci v suspenziji.\u00a0 Preiskovalna celiotomija je pokazala, da so bili rogovi maternice raztegnjeni in so vsebovali me\u0161anico plina in teko\u010dine, zato je bila izvedena ovariohisterektomija. Teko\u010dino iz maternice so z asepti\u010dno tehniko zbrali v injekcijsko brizgo in jo predali klini\u010dnemu patolo\u0161kemu laboratoriju za ugotavljanje prisotnosti aerobnih in anaerobnih bakterij ter bakterijske ob\u010dutljivosti na antibiotike. Hafnio alvei (sedaj razvr\u0161\u010deno kot Hafnia paralvei) so opredelili kot bakterijskega povzro\u010ditelja piometre. Piometra, ki jo povzro\u010dajo bakterije, ki proizvajajo plin, je redko stanje in je znana kot emfizematozna piometra. V literaturi je opisanih le \u0161est primerov pri psicah. Pri psicah s piometro so na\u0161li \u0161irok spekter vaginalnih bakterij, vendar je to prvo poro\u010dilo o emfizematozni \u00a0piometri, ki jo povzro\u010da Hafnia paralvei pri psicah.\u00a0Klju\u010dne besede: veterinary surgery; uterus; emphysematous pyometra; Hafnia paralvei<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.26873\/svr-680-2019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,8]],"date-time":"2019-07-08T16:52:36Z","timestamp":1562604756000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Hafnia paralvei ISOLATED FROM AN EMPHYSEMATOUS PYOMETRA IN A BITCH"],"prefix":"10.26873","volume":"56","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7532-1640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos Arturo","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Alarc\u00f3n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jorge A","family":"Leyva-Varela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ricardo","family":"Garc\u00eda-Herrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Miguel O","family":"Montoya-Dom\u00ednguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Beatriz","family":"Mac\u00edas-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Diana M","family":"Beristain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"28869","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,3]]},"container-title":["Slovenian Veterinary Research"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.uni-lj.si\/slovetres\/article\/download\/24858\/19361","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.uni-lj.si\/slovetres\/article\/download\/24858\/19361","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,21]],"date-time":"2026-01-21T12:30:38Z","timestamp":1768998638000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.uni-lj.si\/slovetres\/article\/view\/24858"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,5]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.26873\/svr-680-2019","relation":{},"ISSN":["2385-8761","1580-4003"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2385-8761","type":"electronic"},{"value":"1580-4003","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,3]]}}}
