Abstract

ABSTRACT: Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a worldwide allergic skin disease. The affected dog population can show different clinical patterns according to geographic region, and a lack of studies in Brazil is observed. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the clinical and epidemiological data of cAD in dogs treated in a private clinical practice in Fortaleza, a city located in the Northeast Region of Brazil. cAD was diagnosed in 35% of dogs, being Shih-tzu and Poodle the most affected breeds. Paws and ears were frequently injured sites. Almost 50% of atopic dogs were diagnosed with superficial pyoderma and 36% with cutaneous malasseziosis. Atopic dogs with outdoor habits were less likely to develop cutaneous malassezial infection, and with routine ear, cleaning habits were less likely to develop bacterial otitis externa. In conclusion, canine atopic dermatitis is a prevalent disease in private clinical practice in Fortaleza, and lifestyle habits can be considered a risk factor for cutaneous malasseziosis infection and bacterial otitis externa in atopic dogs.

巴西福塔莱萨犬特应性皮炎的临床、流行病学特征及生活习惯的影响

摘要:犬特应性皮炎(cAD)是一种世界性的过敏性皮肤病。受影响的犬群可以根据地理区域表现出不同的临床模式，并且观察到巴西缺乏研究。因此，本研究的目的是评估巴西东北部城市福塔莱萨一家私人诊所治疗的狗的cAD临床和流行病学数据。35%的狗被诊断为cAD，其中西施和贵宾犬是最受影响的品种。爪子和耳朵是经常受伤的部位。近50%的特应性犬被诊断为浅表性脓皮病，36%被诊断为皮肤马拉色菌病。有户外习惯的特应性狗患皮肤马拉塞氏感染的可能性较小，有常规耳朵清洁习惯的特应性狗患细菌性外耳炎的可能性较小。综上所述，犬特应性皮炎是福塔莱萨私人诊所的一种流行疾病，生活习惯可能是特应性犬皮肤马拉色菌病感染和细菌性外耳炎的危险因素。
