Resumen
The authors studied the hematologic alterations of 14 dogs experimentally infected with Trypanosoma (Tripanozoon) evansi (Steel, 1885) Balbiani, 1888. The acute phase of parasitemia was characterized by a decrease in erythrocyte and platelet numbers, in mean corpuscular hemoglobin rate and in hematocrit, and by an increase in the rate of partial prothrombin activation time (p < 0.05). The presence of infection did not cause any alterations in mean corpuscular volume, hemoglobin levels, leukocyte numbers, prothrombin time, or plasma fibrinogen (p > 0.05)
