Acantholytic dermatophytosis is a rarely reported condition of dogs that clinically and histopathologically mimics superficial pemphigus (erythematosus, foliaceus). Histologically, periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Grocott's methenamine-silver (GMS) are often necessary to show the fungus. A retrospective histopathological study was conducted on 190 canine skin biopsy specimens: 95 each with the diagnosis of canine dermatophytosis or of superficial pemphigus. All specimens were stained with haematoxylin and eosin, PAS, and GMS. Dermatophytes were not seen in any superficial pemphigus cases. Acantholytic keratinocytes were noted in 14% of the dermatophytosis cases, none of which had clinical signs consistent with superficial pemphigus. Among cases with acantholytic keratinocytes, superficial pemphigus had significantly more acantholytic cells than dermatophytosis (P = 0.02). When comparing face and nonface cases, there was no difference in prevalence of acantholytic keratinocytes in dermatophytosis or number of acantholytic keratinocytes in superficial pemphigus. All dermatophyte cases were both GMS and PAS positive with neither stain being visually superior. No dermatophyte cases where acantholytic keratinocytes were noted had a history, clinical signs and histopathological features compatible with acantholytic dermatophytosis. 相似文献

The syndrome of canine juvenile cellulitis was observed and characterized throughout its clinical course when it occurred spontaneously in a litter of dogs. Histologically, pyogranulomatous inflammation was seen in facial skin and mandibular and superficial cervical lymph nodes of affected dogs. The predominant inflammatory cell characterized by light and electron microscopy and by immunohistochemical staining was an epithelioid macrophage. The same pyogranulomatous inflammatory process was seen in a lymph node anatomically distant from the site of apparent disease. Interestingly, a littermate with neither clinically evident dermal lesions nor lymphadenopathy had histologic evidence of a milder, but similar inflammatory process in a mandibular lymph node. The observation of canine juvenile cellulitis in clusters of dogs between 1 and 4 months of age and its apparent systemic nature suggest an infectious etiology. Bacterial, fungal, or viral agents were not isolated from affected lymph nodes. Attempts to transfer the disease by inoculation of neonatal puppies with tissue from affected dogs were also unsuccessful. 相似文献

An 8-month-old, crossbred dog, presented with a painful, swollen face. The problem was of 4 weeks duration and had not responded to antibiotics. A diagnosis of canine juvenile cellulitis was based on the clinical presentation and supportive cytological and histopathological changes. Attempts to identify canine distemper virus were not successful. Complete resolution occurred with glucocorticoid therapy. This is the first report of canine juvenile cellulitis in a dog of this age. 相似文献

This report presents a case of paraneoplastic pemphigus in a 7-year-old female Bouvier. The dog initially showed extensive oral ulcerations that exacerbated upon treatment with trimethoprim-sulfadiazine. Subsequently, the dog developed vesiculobullous and ulcerative lesions on the ear margins, the nose, periocular, and at the nail beds. Due to complete therapy resistance and a deteriorating general condition, the dog was euthanized. During post-mortem examination a thymic lymphoma was found. While an early biopsy of the oral cavity revealed features of erythema multiforme, skin lesions at necropsy were typical of pemphigus vulgaris. Indirect immunofluorescence of patient serum revealed an antikeratinocyte membrane pattern typical for pemphigus. The serum was also positive on bovine bladder epithelium. In a Western blot, autoantibodies to a 210 and a 190 kDa protein were detected. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to identify the causative agent of cellulitis in turkeys. Eighteen flocks from nine producers were sampled at the local processing plant, and 37 birds with cellulitis on legs or caudal thoracic area were obtained. None of the 37 birds with cellulitis had lesions in other organs. On gross examination, lesions were categorized into two groups: cellulitis with unopened skin lesions (type a) and cellulitis with opened skin lesions (type b). Histopathologically, cellulitis with unopened skin lesions had dermal necrosis with underlying fibrin and inflammatory exudate but cellulitis with open skin lesions had chronic granulomatous/granulation tissue-type reaction associated with foreign material. A complete bacteriologic study was conducted on 25 of 37 birds. Bacteria were isolated from 12 of the 25 birds with cellulitis lesions. No aerobic, microaerophilic, or anaerobic bacteria were isolated from the remaining 13 birds with cellulitis lesions. Escherichia coli was isolated in low numbers in mixed cultures with Proteus mirabilis, Lactobacillus spp., Klebsiella spp., and Staphylococcus spp. in 9 of 12 lesions. The remaining few cases yielded P. mirabilis in pure culture or in mixed culture with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Types a and b cellulitis lesions in turkeys could be associated with primary contact dermatitis and skin abrasions, respectively. Their occurrence is likely associated with different management practices. 相似文献

A four-year-old, entire male toy poodle was presented with a two-and-a-half-week history of ocular discharge progressing to periorbital alopecia, depigmentation, alopecia and ulceration around the muzzle. There was also a haemorrhagic discharge from the ears, pyrexia, lethargy and generalised lymphadenopathy. The clinical, cytological, bacteriological and histopathological findings were consistent with a diagnosis of dermatitis resembling juvenile cellulitis in an adult dog. Glucocorticoid therapy led to rapid resolution of the clinical signs and the dog has remained in remission for two years after cessation of treatment. 相似文献

Over a 6-year period seven adult horses of different breeds and genders developed multifocal, exudative, oozing dermatitis characterized histologically by epidermal spongiotic vesicles and perivascular eosinophilic, neutrophilic and mixed mononuclear inflammation. Three horses were pruritic. Systemic disease was not noted. Two horses had a history of recurrent urticaria (hives) and one horse had nodules or welt-type lesions that progressed to exudative, oozing lesions. Interepithelial immunoglobulin (Ig)G was detected by avidin-biotin complex-peroxidase staining, but the pattern of staining was more consistent with epithelial oedema than specific IgG deposition associated with pemphigus. The exudative oozing lesions developed under circumstances suggesting that dermal oedema progressed to intracellular and intercellular epidermal oedema, which in turn progressed to the spongiotic vesicular epidermal lesions. 相似文献

A 9-year-old spayed female cat was examined for cheek skin drainage. The skin
lesion did not respond to medical therapy; thereafter, facial deformity developed. A
computed tomography revealed an intranasal mass and maxillary osteolysis. The mass was
histopathologically diagnosed as suppurative granulomatous inflammation caused by
filamentous bacteria. The lesion responded well to radiation therapy. Although
actinomycosis was suspected histopathologically, no actinomycetes were detected in the
nasal lesion by a bacterial culture conducted at a commercial laboratory. The
submandibular lymph node and subcutaneous tissue exhibited swelling. Microbiological
examination and genetic analysis based on 16S rDNA gene sequence revealed that
Nocardia spp. were isolated from both lesions. 相似文献

Limited information is available on the long-term outcome of treatment of pemphigus foliaceus in dogs. The purpose of this study is to report that a prolonged remission can occur after discontinuation of immunosuppressive regimens in some animals with this disease. Six dogs were diagnosed with pemphigus foliaceus based on suggestive clinical signs and histopathology. These patients were treated either with immunosuppressive doses of oral glucocorticoids or with a combination of oral glucocorticoids and azathioprine. After clinical signs underwent complete remission, which occurred 1.5-5 months after immunosuppression was initiated, the drugs were tapered progressively and eventually withdrawn. The total duration of immunosuppressive therapy varied between 3 and 22 months. Skin lesions of pemphigus foliaceus did not recur for 1.5-6 years after treatment was stopped. These observations suggest that, in some dogs with pemphigus foliaceus, immunosuppression can lead to long-term remission of skin lesions, and that discontinuation of treatment is not necessarily followed by a recurrence of clinical signs. 相似文献

An 18-month-old Siamese cat, under treatment with cimetidine, developed an exfoliative dermatitis involving the ears, face and feet. Foot-pad lesions and paronychia with a caseous exudate were also present. Histopathology of skin biopsies showed subcorneal pustules involving the hair follicles. These findings were suggestive of pemphigus foliaceus. However, the presence of cutaneous vasculitis and the results of immunofluorescence testing did not support this diagnosis. Skin lesions disappeared when cimetidine treatment was stopped and reappeared with its re-use. A diagnosis of drug eruption was made. 相似文献

A 5-month old female domestic shorthair cat developed lethargy and severe ulcerative skin lesions that covered more than half of its body after routine administration of rabies vaccine, anthelmintic, and ear medication. Clinical and histologic findings were consistent with a severe cutaneous drug reaction or erythema multiforme. The cat's condition continued to deteriorate despite drug withdrawal and supportive care. Administration of human intravenous immunoglobulin was well tolerated by the cat and led to rapid resolution of ulcerative cutaneous lesions, accompanied by substantial improvement in the cat's demeanor within 8 days. Human intravenous immunoglobulin appears to be a novel promising treatment for life-threatening cutaneous drug reactions. 相似文献

Clinical and histopathological findings in pustular psoriaform dermatitis (pityriasis rosea) in pigs
Kimura T Doi K 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2004,66(9):1147-1150
Three cases of pustular psoriaform dermatitis (pityriasis rosea) in pigs were clinically and histopathologically examined. Grossly, the affected skin was characterized by multiple, circumscribed lesions. Three pigs were the descendants derived from the same Landrace boar. Skin lesions expanded centrifugally to became ring-shaped plaques. There were no abnormal values in hematological and serum biochemical profiles. Histopathologically, the epidermis showed remarkable thickening. The dermal lesions were characterized by a prominent component of superficial and deep perivascular infiltration of eosinophils. Dilatation of microvasculature was accompanied with congested vessels. These results revealed that the etiology of pustular psoriaform dermatitis in pigs was associated with a hereditary predisposition derived from the specific boars. This dermatosis is histopathologically characterized by microcirculatory disturbances with infiltration of abundant eosinophils. 相似文献

Six adult dairy cows clinically diagnosed as hemorrhagic bowel syndrome (HBS) were the
subjects of this study. The involved intestinal lesions were fixed in formalin and
examined macroscopically and histopathologically. Pathological examinations revealed large
intramural hematomas with necrotic foci, resulting in luminal obstruction. The mucosal
layer in the lesions was detached from the intestinal wall, and there were no hemorrhagic
changes in the lumen. The intramural hematomas were sometimes covered with histologically
intact mucosal layer. These pathological findings were not consistent with those of
“intraluminal blood clots” reported previously. Gram-positive and
anti-Clostridium antibody-positive short bacilli were found in
hemorrhagic necrotic areas. However, the exact relationship between
Clostridium spp. observed in the lesions and HBS remains unclear,
because this bacterium is a normal inhabitant in cattle. 相似文献

Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is an autoimmune blistering skin disease of humans that consists of characteristic skin lesions associated with concurrent neoplasia. In this study we provide histologic and serologic evidence to support a diagnosis of PNP in a dog with splenic sarcoma. Skin lesions consisted of widespread erosions involving haired skin, mucocutaneous junctions, and oral mucosa. Microscopic examination of skin and mucosae revealed lesions consistent with both pemphigus vulgaris and erythema multiforme. Immunoprecipitation confirmed that circulating IgG autoantibodies from this patient recognized five distinct antigens, presumed to represent epidermal plakins. Clinical, histopathologic, and immunologic findings in this patient were similar to those observed in human patients with PNP. The splenic neoplasia in this dog was diagnosed as a phenotypically variable spindle cell sarcoma. To date, only one other dog has been reported with PNP. This is the second reported case of canine PNP and the first patient in whom skin lesions were identified in association with splenic neoplasia. 相似文献

Cellulitis results in substantial losses to the broiler industry due to condemnations at slaughter. This study was conducted to clarify the association between Escherichia coli isolated from cellulitis and other lesions caused by E. coli in individual birds. Fourteen flocks were sampled and 118 birds with cellulitis were examined. Escherichia coli was isolated from all but 2 of the cellulitis lesions, and serogroups O78, O1, and O2 predominated. Thirty-six birds had at least 1 other lesion in addition to the cellulitis lesion. Isolation of E. coli from cellulitis and other lesions occurred in 7 of the 14 flocks. Escherichia coli of the same serogroup were isolated from cellulitis and other lesions in some birds, suggesting that a single E. coli may sometimes be responsible for both types of lesions. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to characterize virulence factors of Escherichia coli isolates from broilers with simultaneous occurrence of cellulitis and other colibacillosis lesions. Thirty flocks were sampled and 237 birds with cellulitis were examined. Eighty-two (34.6%) of 237 birds condemned for cellulitis had gross lesions in the heart, air sacs, joints, or liver. In 58 chickens, E. coli was isolated from both the cellulitis and other lesions of colibacillosis, and 18.9% of the E. coli isolates from the 2 types of lesions belonged to the same O group. Escherichia coli of serogroups O78, O1, and O2 predominated. Isolates of the same serogroup that were derived from different lesions in the same birds had similar patterns of biotype, aerobactin production, serum sensitivity profile, antibiotic sensitivity, and K1 capsule production. Escherichia coli derived from cellulitis lesions produced virulence factors similar to those found in E. coli isolated from other colibacillosis lesions in poultry. 相似文献

A juvenile Cashmere goat was evaluated and treated for generalized pustular and crusting dermatitis. A diagnosis of pemphigus foliaceus was made based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Treatment with prednisolone resulted in resolution of the lesions. Despite tapering doses and combination with methylprednisolone for monthly maintenance, the kid was euthanized for poor growth and fiber quality. 相似文献

The records of 15 dogs diagnosed as having juvenile cellulitis (juvenile pyoderma, puppy strangles) were evaluated for clinical, laboratory, and therapeutic results. Mandibular lymphadenopathy was observed in 14 dogs, and was not associated with skin lesions in 5 dogs. Edema, pustules, papules, or crusts were noticed periorally, periocularly, on the chin or muzzle, or in the ears of those dogs with skin lesions. Eight dogs were lethargic; fever and anorexia were inconsistent findings. Four dogs had signs of pain on manipulation of their joints. Complete blood counts revealed leukocytosis with neutrophilia in 4 dogs, and normocytic, normochromic anemia in 6 dogs. Three dogs had suppurative lymphadenitis with many neutrophils. Cytology of the aspirate of pustules or abscesses in 6 dogs revealed many neutrophils without bacteria. Coagulase-positive Staphylococcus spp were isolated from draining lesions in 2 dogs. Intact abscesses and lymph nodes were negative for bacterial growth in 4 dogs. Three of these dogs were being administered antibiotics at the time of bacterial culturing. Cytology of the aspirates of joints in 3 of the 4 dogs with joint pain revealed suppurative arthritis with no bacteria, and the aspirates were negative for bacterial growth on culturing, although all 3 dogs were being administered antibiotics at the time of culturing. Of 12 dogs initially treated with antibiotics, only 4 (33%) responded favorably; the other 8 dogs were then given antibiotics and corticosteroids. Three dogs were initially given antibiotics and corticosteroids. All dogs treated concurrently with antibiotics and corticosteroids responded favorably. One of these dogs had a relapse after treatment was discontinued. The concurrent arthritis in 4 of the dogs resolved with treatment of the juvenile cellulitis and did not redevelop once the medication was discontinued. Concurrent treatment with antibiotics (cephalosporins) and prednisone (2.2 mg/kg of body weight/day) was the most consistently effective treatment in the dogs in this study. 相似文献
