Pathogenesis of sterile pyogranuloma syndrome
*Aberrant inflammatory response
*Immune dysfunction
*Infectious agents: low numbers (Leishmania) or incomplete clearance of their antigens –> using PCR may help us find these organisms better!
Body region sterile pyogranuloma syndrome
Dog: Head (muzzle, periocular, pinnae), neck, trunk, legs, paws
-Hypercalcemia in dogs!
-Regional lymphadenopathy in 30%
Cat: Muzzle>pinnae, extremities > trunk

Causes of NONinfectious granulomatous diseases
*Foreign body
*Endogenous material
-Hair
-Sebum
-Keratin etc
*Sterile granuloma and pyogranuloma syndrome
*Reactive histiocytosis
*Juvenile sterile granulomatous dermatitis and lymphadenitis
*Cutaneous xanthoma
*Canine sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis gene predisposition (humans)
MHC cl II
Sarcoidosis pathogenesis in humans
Th1 immune response to infectious agents, allergens
ie: Mycobacterium»_space; minerals (cat litter), chemicals (insecticides)
Other organs affected by sarcoidosis in humans
Lungs> skin > eyes, liver > other
Sarcoidosis (human) prognosis)
Good
May self-cure.
Tx: GCs +/- 2’ steroid sparing agents
Sarcoidosis, Systemic Granulomatous Disease in horses: age of onset
Usually > 3 years old, wide range
Sarcoidosis, Systemic Granulomatous Disease in horses: etiology
*Idiopathic
»
*Infectious agents
-Mycobacterium
-Borrelia burgdorferi
-EHV-2
*Toxins
-Hairy vetch
Which infectious agents may cause Sarcoidosis, Systemic Granulomatous Disease in horses
*Infectious agents
-Mycobacterium
-Borrelia burgdorferi
-EHV-2
*Toxins
-Hairy vetch
BUT USUALLY IDIOPATHIC
Other organs affected by Sarcoidosis in horses
*Skin
*Lungs
»
*Internal LN
*Liver
*GI
*Spleen
*Kidney, bone, CNS, Heart, Adrenal, Thyroid, Thymus, Pancreas, Muscles, BM
3 clinical forms of Sarcoidosis in horses
*Localized (focal exfoliative dermatitis, ie lower limb)
*Partially Generalized (Exfoliative dermatitis, nodules that progress from a focal area. LN+ –> generalized)
*Generalized (internal organs +/- cutaneous)
Lab findings with Sarcoidosis in horses
*Anemia
*Leukocytosis
-Neutrophilia
*Hyperfibrinogenemia
*Hypoalbuminemia
*Hyperglobulinemia

Sarcoidosis in horses histopath
-Nodular, interstitial granulomatous inflammation with multinucleated giant cells
-Superficial, dermis > panniculus
Prognosis Sarcoidosis in horses
*Cutaneous only: RARELY self cure
Variable response
-Relapse with tx discontinued, or seasonal flares, training/competition stress
*Systemic: Often euthanized
Treatment Sarcoidosis in horses
*Remove hair vetch from diet
*GC (1-4mg/kg/d prednisolone)
*OFA
*Pentoxifylline
