Sažetak
Babesiosis of dogs caused by the intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite Babesia canis is a widespread clinical problem of dogs in Croatia. In acute phase of the disease, animals suffer from hypotension followed by disturbances of the coagulation system. The conversion of prothrombin into active thrombin is a key event within the coagulation cascade. Every thrombin molecule may be inactivated by antithrombin to form the thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) complex, the concentration of which also reflects thrombin generation. The aim of this study was to determine the coagulation system activity in dogs with babesiosis in a course of time.
