  • Title: Pneumonitis associated with occult heartworm disease in dogs.
    Author: Calvert CA, Losonsky JM.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1985 May 15; 186(10):1097-8. PubMed ID: 3997626.
    Abstract:
    Nine of 69 dogs with occult heartworm disease (13%) had allergic pneumonitis characterized by consistent clinical and radiographic signs. Although the clinical signs were severe, the degree of radiographic pulmonary arterial abnormalities was mild. Corticosteroid therapy resulted in rapid resolution of clinical and radiographic signs; thiacetarsamide therapy was then given without complications. This syndrome may not be recognized as heartworm-associated and may be confused with other disorders, some being associated with a poor prognosis and requiring different therapy.
