  • Title: Clinical Signs, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Encephalitozoon cuniculi Infection in Rabbits.
    Author: Künzel F, Fisher PG.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Exot Anim Pract; 2018 Jan; 21(1):69-82. PubMed ID: 29146032.
    Abstract:
    Central vestibular dysfunction caused by Encephalitozoon cuniculi frequently mimics the condition of a peripheral disorder. A negative antibody titer rules out E cuniculi as the cause of present clinical signs. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis including polymerase chain reaction is considered an inappropriate diagnostic method for in vivo diagnosis of encephalitozoonosis. The usefulness of glucocorticoid anti-inflammatories in the treatment of encephalitozoonosis is called into question. Encouraging activity early in the course of disease and adding in therapeutic exercise may represent the most important part of therapy in rabbits with vestibular dysfunction associated with encephalitozoonosis.
