Haptoglobin Value and a Case of Pulmonary Abscesses in Dolphin

We measured haptoglobin (Hp) of some dolphins in the aquarium in Aomori Prefecture by modified hemoglo-bin binding assay. The mean Hp values of healthy and unhealthy bottlenose dolphins were significantly differ-ent ( P < 0.01) at 2,119 (cid:9602) g/m l and 7,495 (cid:9602) g/m l , respectively. In the case of death from lung abscesses, Hp value increased to 8,157 (cid:9602) g/m l prior to a decline in A/G ratio and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. These results sug-gest that Hp is an inflammatory marker in dolphins and may be useful for early diagnosis of pneumonia.
