In this webinar we discuss the approach to the patient with a bleeding disorder. A logical diagnostic approach to a coagulopathy is essential to reach a diagnosis promptly and to ensure the correct treatment can be initiated quickly, as affected patients can present in a critical condition. Primary haemostasis involves the formation of a blood clot by the action of platelets and secondary haemostasis results in the formation of a fibrin clot through the activation of clotting factors. Primary haemostatic disorders are associated with reduced platelet numbers (thrombocytopenia) or a functional platelet defect (thrombocytopathia) and usually present with petechial haemorrhages or mucosal haemorrhages. Secondary haemostatic disorders can be congenital or acquired and are more likely to present with intra-cavitary haemorrhages. This webinar is provided by BSAVA Education Partner IDEXX.

Canine leishmania is a vector borne disease caused by the protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum and transmitted by sand flies. Leishmania infantum is endemic in many parts of southern Europe. The sand fly vector is not currently present in the UK, but despite this, the disease is being identified more and more frequently, due to the large number of imported dogs being brought into the UK from mainland Europe. Clinical disease results from an inappropriate and ineffective immune response to the parasite. A wide variety of clinical signs can be present which may include exfoliative dermatitis, lymphadenopathy and weight loss. In this webinar we will focus on the clinical approach to the patient with suspected Leishmaniasis and provide a brief overview of treatment options and recommendations for monitoring response to treatment.

Infectious diseases are common differentials for many of our clinical cases. While most are caused by obligate infectious agents, some can be caused by opportunistic infections. Different infectious agents means that different diagnostic tests may be appropriate to diagnose them (e.g. not all infectious agents are easily cultured); stage of infection, burden of infection and host factors may also influence choice of tests. More than one test my be required to confirm infection, and screening tests may require confirmatory tests or auxiliary tests to confirm infection. This creates a myriad of choices of tests that may be challenging to navigate, and to interpret when conflicting results are obtained from different diagnostic tests for the same patient. Optimal diagnostic outcome also depends on the quality of the submitted sample. In this overview webinar we will briefly discuss different laboratory tests available for diagnosis of infectious disease, general interpretation guidelines and sample requirements.
