Recognizing skin conditions in cats can indicate underlying systemic diseases like poxvirus or feline leukemia virus (FeLV). Early detection of these cutaneous manifestations aids in diagnosing internal disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Dermatology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Feline Medicine

Background:

  • Cutaneous manifestations are often the first observable signs of systemic diseases in animals.
  • Dermatological changes can be indicative of viral, bacterial, parasitic, or endocrine disorders.
  • Early recognition of skin lesions is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment of systemic conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review cutaneous manifestations associated with various systemic diseases in felines.
  • To highlight the importance of dermatological signs in identifying internal health issues.
  • To provide clinicians with a reference for recognizing key skin conditions linked to systemic diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and compilation of known cutaneous signs.

  • Categorization of diseases based on etiological agents (viral, bacterial, parasitic) and endocrine disorders.
  • Discussion of specific examples including poxvirus, feline leukemia virus (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), and others.

    • Main Results:

    • Poxvirus, FeLV, FIV, herpesvirus, calcivirus, and pseudorabies can present with distinct skin lesions.
    • Bacterial infections like plague and tularemia, and parasitic diseases such as toxoplasmosis and leishmaniasis, have associated dermatological findings.
    • Endocrine disorders including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism, diabetes mellitus, and acromegaly manifest with characteristic skin and coat changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Cutaneous signs serve as vital indicators for a range of systemic feline diseases.
    • Veterinarians should consider systemic disease when presented with specific dermatological abnormalities.
    • Prompt diagnostic workup based on skin lesion recognition can lead to improved patient outcomes.
