Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic relapsing pruritic skin disease of dogs for which treatment has varied over time and geographical location. Recent high quality randomized controlled trials systematic reviews have established drugs are likely to offer consistent benefit. The International Task Force Canine AD currently recommends multi-faceted approach treat with AD. Acute flares should be treated combination nonirritating baths topical glucocorticoids, once an attempt been made...
In 2010, the International Task Force on Canine Atopic Dermatitis (now Committee Allergic Diseases of Animals, ICADA) published first consensus guidelines for treatment atopic dermatitis (AD) in dogs. This is 5-year minor update this document. The acute flares AD should involve search for, and then elimination of, cause flares, bathing with mild shampoos, controlling pruritus skin lesions interventions that include topical and/or oral glucocorticoids or oclacitinib. For chronic canine AD,...
Background Sublingual immunotherapy ( SLIT ) has been reported to be beneficial in people with atopic dermatitis AD and dust mite sensitivity. Evaluation of this therapy not spontaneous canine . Objectives The objective study was preliminarily evaluate the effectiveness an established protocol, as used human patients, dogs Animals Ten sensitive Methods Dogs underwent a 6 month open trial concurrently decreasing dose oral methylprednisolone. Clinical evaluations quantitative serum anti‐mite...
Abstract Adverse reactions to insects occur in both human and veterinary patients. Systematic comparison may lead improved recommendations for prevention treatment all species. In this position paper, we summarize the current knowledge on insect allergy induced via stings, bites, inhalation or ingestion, compare companion animals those people. With few exceptions, situation is better documented than animals. We focus a review of recent literature give overviews epidemiology clinical signs....
SUMMARY The fungal flora of the coat 172 healthy pet cats was examined qualitatively. Fungi were isolated from 136 (79%) cats. Fifteen genera isolated; 13 are commonly regarded as saprophytes, and 2 ( Microsporum Trichophyton) pathogens. Aspergillus, Alternaria, Penicillium, Cladosporium spp most frequently saprophytes. Dermatophytic fungi, including gypseum (n = 1), M vanbreuseghemii Trichophyton rubrum 14), recovered 16 canis not any cat during this study.
The role of neurokinin-1 receptors (NK1R) in the interaction between mast cells and substance P (SP) bladder inflammation was determined. Mast cell-deficient Kit W /Kit W-v , congenic normal (+/+), mice that were reconstituted with bone marrow isolated from NK1R −/− challenged by instillation SP, antigen, or saline into urinary bladder. Twenty-four hours after challenge, bladders prepared for morphological assessment gene expression. SP-induced cell dependent did not require expression on...
The purpose of this study was to define the operational and performance characteristics a commercially available monoclonal antibody based (mac) ELISA for detection allergen-specific IgE in dogs. average intra-assay variance over 1 year 9.7% (range 2.5-62.7%), while interassay averaged 10.8% 8.1-13.8%). positive control responses observed grass, weed, tree mite allergens during each month remained relatively constant; monthly 11.6% 8.3-19.2%) grass pollens, 13.3% 9.1-20.4%) weed 9.8-18.2%)...
Abstract Feline and canine atopic dermatitis are thought to have a similar immunopathogenesis. As with dogs, detection of allergen‐specific IgE in cat serum merely supports diagnosis feline atopy based on compatible history, clinical signs elimination other pruritic dermatoses. In this study, rapid screening immunoassay (Allercept ® E‐Screen 2nd Generation; Heska AG, Fribourg, Switzerland; ES2G) was compared complete‐panel assay ; AG; CP) healthy cats no history skin disease cats. The latter...
