Skin Diseases and Disorders

2.8K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

325
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

840
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

1.6K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

3.0K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Feline Medicine

Background:

  • Feline skin diseases often show non-specific signs like erythema and hair loss.
  • Differentiating immune-mediated conditions from infections and hypersensitivities is crucial for cats.
  • Early diagnosis of immune-mediated skin disorders improves treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review clinical presentations of feline immune-mediated skin diseases.
  • To discuss differential diagnoses, diagnostic methods, and treatment approaches.
  • To cover pemphigus complex, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, and exfoliative dermatitis in Part 1.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing veterinary research.
  • Analysis of clinical features and diagnostic strategies.
  • Synthesis of therapeutic options for feline skin conditions.

Main Results:

  • Pemphigus complex, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, and exfoliative dermatitis share overlapping clinical signs.
  • Diagnostic challenges include distinguishing immune-mediated causes from other dermatoses.
  • Treatment strategies vary based on the specific immune-mediated condition.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis of feline immune-mediated skin diseases is essential for appropriate management.
  • Understanding characteristic clinical features aids in early identification.
  • Part 1 of this series provides a foundation for diagnosing and managing these challenging feline dermatoses.
