The aim of this report was to document the presentation of a 12-week-old pyometra in an 11-year-old female Chihuahua with hyperadrenocorticism and endocardiosis. The patient presented with clinical and paraclinical signs consistent with chronic hyperadrenocorticism. An adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test confirmed the hyperadrenocorticism (post-stimulation cortisol of 27.79 µg/dl). However, the progression of subclinical pyometra was evident at 12 weeks of evolution (Acute Patient Physiologic and Laboratory Evaluation – fast [APPLE-fast] of 15; Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment [qSOFA] of 1) with additional signs of pulmonary edema secondary to endocardiosis. At 48 hours post-surgery, the patient exhibited lethargy, anorexia, an APPLE-fast of 26, and clinical criteria of SIRS-3. After the therapeutic failure of the previous approach with enrofloxacin plus ampicillin/sulbactam, and later cefovecin, it was decided to administer gentamicin for 3 days, with a favorable clinical and paraclinical response, and an APPLE-fast of 19. The result of the urine culture revealed the presence of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) with a multidrug-resistant profile suggestive of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL). At the clinical follow-up 4 weeks after starting trilostane post-discharge, the tutor reported improvement in clinical signs of chronic polydipsia, polyuria, and polyphagia, with an appropriate quality of life score for monitoring hyperadrenocorticism. It is presumed that the classic clinical expression of pyometra and infectious cystitis was mitigated by the uncontrolled underlying hyperadrenocorticism, and the clinical course of the disease progressed to sepsis due to EHEC with apparent production of ESBL.

El objetivo de este reporte fue documentar la presentación de piometra de doce semanas de evolución en una hembra Chihuahua de once años con hiperadrenocorticismo y endocardiosis. Se recibió la paciente reseñada, con signos clínicos y paraclínicos manifiestos consistentes con hiperadrenocorticismo crónico. Una prueba de estimulación con hormona adrenocorticotrópica (ACTH, por sus siglas en inglés) comprobó el hiperadrenocorticismo (cortisol posestimulación de 27,79 µg/dl). No obstante, el progreso de un piometra subclínico fue evidente a las doce semanas de evolución (APPLE-fast de 15; qSOFA de 1) con signos adicionales de edema pulmonar secundario a endocardiosis. A las 48 horas del posquirúrgico, la paciente manifestó decaimiento, anorexia y un APPLE-fast de 26 con criterios clínicos de SIRS-3; tras la falla terapéutica del abordaje previo con enrofloxacina más ampicilina/sulbactam y posteriormente cefovecina, se decidió suministrar gentamicina durante tres días, con respuesta favorable clínica y paraclínica del animal y APPLE- fast de 19. El resultado del urocultivo reveló la presencia de E. coli enterohemorrágica con un perfil de multirresistencia sugerente de betalactamasas de espectro extendido (BLEE). Al control clínico cuatro semanas después de inicio del trilostano al alta médica, la tutora reportó mejoría de signos clínicos de polidipsia, poliurea, polifagia crónicos, con un puntaje de calidad de vida adecuado para el seguimiento del hiperadrenocorticismo. Se presume que la expresión clínica clásica de piometra y cistitis infecciosa se mitigó por el hiperadrenocorticismo no controlado de base y el curso clínico de la enfermedad progresó a sepsis por EHEC con aparente producción de BLEE.
