Study Notes
Types of Hair Loss
- Alopecia: Complete absence of hair.
- Hypotrichosis: Reduced hair amount, increasing susceptibility to sunburn and infections.
Connective Tissue Disorders
- Collagen Dysplasia: Characterized by hyper-extensibility and laxity of connective tissues.
Epitheliogenesis Imperfecta
- Incomplete development of stratified squamous epithelium affecting skin, adnexa, or oral mucosa.
Environmental Induced Skin Diseases
- Sun Injury: Caused by actinic (sun) damage and direct environmental factors.
- Chemical Injury: Local penetration through skin or systemic absorption leading to tissue damage.
- Physical Injury: Includes abrasions, lacerations, ulcerations, exposure to extremes in temperature, and foreign bodies.
Sunburn and Solar Dermatitis
- Caused by endothelial damage and keratinocyte injury, creating inflammatory responses.
- Acute Symptoms: Redness, pain, possible edema and blistering.
- Chronic Symptoms: Thickened inflamed skin, potential dysplasia or neoplasia; commonly affects ventral abdomen and thorax.
Photosensitization
- Activation of photodynamic substances leading to skin damage under UV-A or visible light.
- Type I: Exogenous agents, often from plants or drugs.
- Type II: Aberrant endogenous factors.
- Type III (Hepatogenous): Impaired removal of chlorophyll metabolites.
- Type IV: Unknown causes.
- Affects areas with poorly pigmented hair and skin.
Psychogenic Dermatitis
- Develops from persistent licking or chewing due to emotional or psychological stress.
- Common triggers include boredom, anxiety from environmental changes, or loss of companions.
Infectious Skin Diseases
- Categories include viral, bacterial, mycotic, parasitic, and protozoal skin diseases, with various entry routes including trauma, hair follicles, and skin glands.
Viral Skin Diseases
-
Local Infections: Mainly caused by poxviruses affecting multiple animal species.
- Contagious Pustular Dermatitis: Parapoxvirus affecting sheep and goats, can be fatal in young animals. Characterized by vesicles and crusts typically on lips.
-
Systemic Infections: Involves viruses like canine distemper and bovine viral diarrhea (BVD).
- Diagnosis includes clinical history, skin biopsy showing dermatitis, serology, and PCR.
Specific Viral Diseases
- Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD): A severe systemic viral infection impacting livestock.
- Papilloma Virus: Affects canine and bovine species, leading to verrucous lesions on skin.
Pyoderma
- Superficial Pyoderma: Presents as erythematous dermatitis with notable epidermal collarettes.
