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
Papillomaviridae causes benign ___
Benign epithelial proliferation
What does papillomaviridae cause
Squamous papilloma, endophytic papilloma, epidermal pigmented plaques, aural plaques, papillomas, sarcoids, SCC
What are the 3 results that occur with papillomaviridae enters stratum basale
- Latent infection without changes in keratinocytes
- Productive infection with cytopathic changes to keratinocytes (nuclear inclusions)
- Virus integration into host cell genome—>neoplasia and malignant
What wrong, what caused
Sarcoids caused by bovine papillomarvirus
What wrong, what caused
Cutaneous papilloma caused by papillomaviridae
what is morphological dx
Aural plaques
What occurs with a orthoherpesviridae virus
Keratinocyte infection and lysis, vesicles—> ulcers and crusts
What is a differential diagnosis for feline facial puritus
Feline herpesvirus 1
What wrong and what is a differential diagnosis
Feline herpetic facial dermatitis caused by orthoherpesviridae virus- feline herpesvirus 1
What are the portals of entry for bacteria into skin
hematogenous, pores, damaged epidermis
what are the targets for bacteria entering the skin
epidermis, dermis, subcutis, vessels, adnexa
what are the targets for superficial pyoderma
epidermis and follicular infundibulum
T or F: superficial pyoderma heals without scarring and there is no lymph node involvement
true
what is the gross appearance of superficial pyoderma
erythema, alopecia, papules, pustules, crust, epidermal collarettes
what is the histo appearance for superficial pyoderma
intraepidermal pustules, superficial luminal folliculitis, serocellular cysts
what is the etiology/cause of exudative epidermitis (greasy pig disease)
staphylococcus hyicus
what lesions are associated with exudative epidermitis (greasy pig disease)
brown greasy exudate with thick epidermis, scaling, loaded with bacteria
what is the distribution for exudative epidermitis
periocular, pinnae, snout, chin, medial leg, spreads to ventrum
what is the etiology/cause of superficial spreading pyoderma
staphylococcus pseudointermedius
Pig presents with brown crusty material all over body. Histo was taken- what is problem
exudative dermatitis/ greasy pig disease
what is likely problem
superficial pyoderma
what is the target for deep pyoderma
hair follicle, dermis, hypodermis
