Observations on the bulirrubin, creatinine and creatine rates, during premunition with agents of bovine plasmoses

Abstract

The observation of cattle serum bilirubin levels during babesiosis and anaplasmosis indicates that this verification is not clinically interesting since the bilirubin increase occurred only in 4 of the 10 observed cases and this only when anemia had already developed very far. The determination of hemoglobin, hematocrit value and or red blood cells count are rather safer and more precocious indications than the bilirubin estimation. The creatine rate diminished in the course of the illness.
