Dermatite multifatorial em um canino

Abstract

RESUMORelatou-se um caso clínico de dermatite multifatorial em cão, envolvendo Demodex canis, Sporothrix schenckii e bactérias dos gêneros Staphylococcus e Streptococcus. O animal, macho, da raça Pit Bull, com um ano e três meses de idade, apresentou lesões úmidas, hiperêmicas, descamativas e ulcerativas nas regiões do pescoço e do tórax. Exames laboratoriais confirmaram o diagnóstico de infecção concomitante por fungo, bactéria e parasito. A terapia antimicrobiana com moxidectina, itraconazol e amoxicilina foi efetiva, com remissão dos sinais clínicos após 30 dias de tratamento. Este relato salienta a importância do diagnóstico de certeza, que foi determinante para estabelecimento da terapêutica adequada e recuperação do animal.

Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory profile of dermatopathies of household dogs and cats in a semi-arid region of Northeast Brazil

“…The association of pathogens in dermatological conditions is usually related to more severe cases, and is considered by some authors as rare, since they are little described in the literature (Matos et al, 2012). In one case there was an association between M. gypseum, D. canis, S. simulans and K. pneumoniae, thus representing a fungal, parasitic and bacterial infection, similar to a report available in the literature (Lockwood et al, 2017), which demonstrated the importance of the basic diagnosis associated with prudent therapy as a prophylactic form of more serious cases such as the one described.…”

“…Interestingly, in half of the cases in which the association between pathogens was observed, there was the use of drug therapy without veterinary guidance, which may probably have influenced the complication of the animal's clinical condition. Dermatopathies with association of pathogens presented a wide variety of lesions, generating a nonspecific clinical profile, severe and easily confused with possible differential diagnoses (Matos et al, 2012).…”

“…Dermatopathies are basically classified into three groups from the aetiological origin, these being bacterial, fungal, and parasitic dermatitis. The main bacteria involved comprise those belonging to the genera Staphylococcus and Streptococcus (Matos et al, 2012). In problems involving parasites, the most commonly identified mites are Demodex canis and Sarcoptes scabiei, causing demodectic mange and sarcoptic mange, respectively (Franco-Amorim et al, 2017).…”

“…Rossi, 2019). This variable aetiology motivates distinct clinical manifestations that can present themselves in a localized or disseminated manner, with a changeable aspect, a fact that is possibly associated with the possibility of pathogen co-infection (Matos et al, 2012).…”

Terapêutica Não Antimicrobiana Associada À Laserterapia No Tratamento Da Dermatite Piotraumática Canina: Relato De Caso

“…Os casos de dermatite piotraumática geralmente são resolvidos com tratamento tópico associado ao tratamento sistêmico. No geral, preconiza-se o uso de soluções ou xampus adstringentes e antissépticos, prednisolona oral (prurido intenso) e antibioticoterapia (POLAK et al, 2018;LOGAS;DELAN, 2020), no entanto, o uso de antibióticos destinados à terapia das dermatoses em animais vem propiciando, ao longo do tempo, o aumento na resistência bacteriana, constituindo um problema emergente (MATOS et al, 2012;NETO;SANTOS, 2016;LOGAS;DELAN, 2020).…”
