Abstract

Trypanosoma sp. and Ehrlichia sp. was recorded in a 3½ years old mongrel male dog at the Veterinary College Hospital. In the blood profile, neutrophilia with monocytosis and elevated levels of creatinine kinase and aspartate aminotransferase were noted. The ECG showed bradycardia, right bundle branch block, deep “s” waves and absence of “p” waves. Blood smear examination revealed the presence of both organisms.
