Study Notes
Hair Loss Disorders
- Alopecia: Complete absence of hair.
- Hypotrichosis: Reduced quantity of hair, increasing susceptibility to sunburn, temperature extremes, and infections.
Connective Tissue Disorders
- Collagen dysplasia: Characterized by hyper-extensibility and laxity in connective tissues.
Epitheliogenesis Imperfecta (Aplasia Cutis)
- Failure of stratified squamous epithelium to fully develop, affecting skin, adnexa, and oral mucosa.
Environmental Induced Skin Diseases
- Types of injuries:
- Sun (Actinic) injury
- Chemical injury
- Physical injury
Sunburn and Solar Dermatosis
- Sunburn results from endothelial damage and keratinocyte damage, releasing inflammatory mediators.
- Acute solar dermatitis presents with redness, pain, edema, and blistering, while chronic cases lead to thickened, inflamed skin, possible dysplasia, or neoplasia, particularly on the ventral abdomen and thorax.
Photosensitization
- Activated by UV-A or visible light and involves photodynamic substances in the skin.
- Types of photosensitization:
- Type I: Exogenous agents from plants or drugs.
- Type II: Aberrant endogenous substances.
- Type III: Hepatogenous, linked to chlorophyll metabolite buildup.
- Type IV: Unknown cause.
- Gross lesions manifest in poorly pigmented skin areas.
Chemical Injury
- Local: Chemicals penetrate hair and the stratum corneum, worsened by moisture, leading to skin damage.
- Systemic: Ingestion of toxins causing widespread skin and organ effects.
Physical Injury
- Includes abrasions, lacerations, ulcerations, foreign bodies, and effects from radiation or temperature extremes.
- Feline Psychogenic Dermatitis: Results in lick dermatitis and neurodermatitis from persistent licking, often due to psychological stressors.
Infectious Skin Diseases
- Categories include viral, bacterial, mycotic, parasitic, and protozoal skin diseases.
Viral Skin Diseases
- Entry points: Trauma to skin, hair follicles, and gland ducts, or via nerves and bloodstream.
- Two types:
- Local: Example includes poxviruses affecting various animal species.
- Systemic: Involves overall infections with skin manifestations; examples include viral infections leading to dermatitis.
Local Viral Infections: Poxviruses
- Affect domestic animals and birds, with zoonotic potential.
- Contagious Pustular Dermatitis: Caused by parapoxvirus in sheep and goats, can have severe impacts on young animals, resulting in systemic issues.
- Characterized by lesions on lips and oral regions, progressing from vesicles to scabs.
Systemic Viral Infections
- Involve epitheliotropic or pantropic viruses, seen in diseases like canine distemper and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD).
- Diagnosis includes clinical signs, skin biopsy, serology, and virus identification methods.
Notable Diseases
- Scrapie: Also known as mad sheep disease, a prion disease similar to BSE affecting brain tissue.
- Papillomavirus infections noted across various species including canine and cattle.
Superficial Pyoderma
- Characterized by erythematous dermatitis with the formation of epidermal collarettes as a notable clinical feature.
