Q

Canine atopic dermatitis is most common in what breeds?
What is this characterized by?
What is the age of onset?

A
  • Most common cutaneous inflammatory and pruritic diseases in
    dogs.
  • Many breeds. Terriers, retrievers, and brachycephalic dogs
  • Age of onset: 1-3 years in > 70% of cases
  • Generalized pruritus prior to skin lesions (seasonal [most common],
    nonseasonal, or nonseasonal with seasonal worsening)
    If skin lesions came before pruritus, pruritus is to a primary problem and is associated with trauma, or something else.

82
Q

What can be seen here?

A

Erythema multiforme
Many cells invading basal?
Lymphocytes surrounding apoptic cells.
keratinocytes express part of antigen from drug, lymphocytes recognize it and tag jeratinoctye, which is why dead keratinocytes are phagocytized.

83
Q

What can be seen here?

A

MQ usually have vacuoles in their cytoplasm b/c they are phagocytes. They differ from acantholytic cells in that acantholytic cells have a darker cytoplasm because they possess keratin.
