Lecture 3: Integument Parts II Flashcards
On what parts of the body are solar insults most common
Poorly haired, lightly pigmented, thin skin
Acute injury from UVB exposure results in
Sunburn erythema
Chronic injury from UVB results in
Dysplasia progressing to neoplasia
What are common neoplasms associated with UVB injury
- SCC
- Melanoma
- Hemagioma/ hemagiosarcoma
What wrong here, and what are you concerned about
hemagioma, concern for progressing to hemagiosarcoma
Which is normal vs abnormal. What do black arrows indicate in middle and right photo. What do red circles indicate
Left: normal
Middle: hyperplasia and dysplasia- solar dermatosis
Right: black arrow: solar elastosis, red circles: sunburn cells
What is photosensitization
A photodynamic agent in circulation reacts to UV light that results in edema/erythema—> vesicles—> necrosis/ sloughing of skin
What is type 1 photosensitization
Ingestion of photodynamic substance (plants, drugs)
What is type 2 photosensitization
Abnormal porphyrin metabolism. Inherited disease of enzyme deficiency
What is type 3 photosensitization
Most common form, occurs in herbivores with liver disease. Chlorophyll in plants converted to phylloerythrin and is unable to be excreted in the bile, ends up in the blood
Where do lesions from photosensitization occur
Non-pigmented areas exposed to sun
What wrong here? Also the cow had yellow eyes and MM, what does that indicate
photosensitization- specifically type 3- icterus indicates liver pathology
What is the pathogenesis of swelled head or facial eczema in ovine
- Ingestion of saprophytic fungus, Pithomyces chartarum
- Produces sporidesmin mycotoxin
- Liver damage/ bile duct injury
- Bile obstruction
- Type 3 photosensitization
- Sheep with heavy fleece have lesions that develop especially on the face
What wrong
Swelled head or facial eczema of ovine due to ingestion of pithomyces chartarum that produce sporidesmin mycotoxin causing liver damage—> type 3 photosensitization
What are two fungal causes of dry gangrene
- Grain contained with fungus produces ergotamine
- Tall grass contaminated with fungus that produces ergovaline
What is the pathogenesis of dry gangrene due to fungus alkaloids
- Ergotamine and ergovaline produced by fungus
- Stimulates adrenergic nerves
- Ateriolar smooth muscle vasoconstriction
- Ischemic necrosis of hindlegs
What wrong and what is potential cause
dry gangrene cause by fungus that produced ergotamine and ergovaline toxins causing ischemic necrosis—> dry gangrene
What is acral lick dermatitis
Lick granuloma caused by psychogenic dermatitis- repeated chewing and licking induces chronic alopecia and proliferative dermatitis
What is intertrigo
Superficial dermatitis on apposed skin surfaces/ folds
Folds susceptible due to retained moisture and frictional trauma—> bacterial infection
What is the sequence of cutaneous lesions in poxviridae viruses
Macula—> Papule—> vesicle—> umbilicated pustule—> crust—> scar
What is an important mode of transmission for poxviridae viruses
Mechanical vectors- mosquitoes, sucking louse
What is the histo appearance of poxviridae
Intracytoplasmic eosinophilia viral inclusion bodies (Bollinger bodies)
What wrong
Poxviridae virus- swine pox
Dog presented with vesicles/ crusts all over body and histo showed this? What is likely problem and what does the histo show that indicates that. What is asterisk and arrow indicating
Parapoxvirus (poxviridae)
Asterisk: ballooning/ hydropic degeneration
Arrow: bollinger bodies
