The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical state of dogs with atopic dermatitis (AD) by use of CADESI test in own modification during the first visit in the Dermatology Consult Room as well as during the treatment. The study was performed in two groups (I-E and II-C) of 20 dogs in each group. In dogs which were qualified to the I-E group, as antiallergic, anti-inflammatory and antipruritic treatment, prednisone (oral preparation Encorton – Polfa Pabianice) at dose 0.5 mg/kg b.w./day was administered, while in dogs qualified to the II-C group – cyclosporine (oral preparation Sandimmun Neoral – Novartis Pharma) at a dose of 5 mg/kg b.w./day; the treatment was continued for 6 weeks in both groups. During the study, skin lesions were assessed in 15 specified body areas using 4 parameters and 5-point scale. In group I-E and II-C the amount of received points in CADESI test was decreased by 82.26% and by 83% respectively, after the treatment. Statistical analyses of the results obtained revealed no statistically significant (P=0.05) differences between means of I-E and II-C groups in consecutive examinations, which indicates comparable clinical efficacy of both drugs. Statistically significant differences (P=0.05) of the parameters assessed were found after secondary dermatoses treatment, and after every two weeks of antipruritic and anti-inflammatory treatment.
Dog blood samples were analysed cytometrically and immunoenzymatically. In dogs with atopic dermatitis complicated by purulent dermatitis, the percentage of lymphocytes with CD8, CD21 antigens, as well as IL-10 concentration in serum were significantly higher than in healthy dogs. The results indicate that immunosuppression induced by the activity of an infectious agent plays an important role at this stage of the disease. This thesis was further confirmed by a high positive coiTelation between MHC II CD3, CD4, and CD21 expression and a negative correlation between cells with MHC II and CD8 lymphocytes.
Cytometric analysis was performed in order to detect the expression of surface molecules CD11b and CD11/18 on lymphocytes, granulocytes, and monocytes of peripheral blood of dogs with atopic dermatitis (AD) complicated by purulent dermatitis. The percentage of peripheral blood lymphocytes with CD11b and CD11/18 was found to be significantly higher (P < 0.05) in dogs with AD than in healthy dogs. The percentage of granulocytes expressing CD11b molecule was significantly lower in dogs with complicated AD compared to healthy dogs and dogs with uncomplicated AD. The expression of CD11b and CD 11/18 integrin on monocytes of dogs with complicated AD depended on the severity of symptoms and was higher in dogs with deep purulent dermatitis. It was concluded that the expression of CD11b and CD11/18 integrin on leukocytes of dogs with AD depends on the stage of the disease.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the suitability of pruritus score test in pruritus diagnosis in dogs. The test was used to assess the frequency and severity of pruritus in dogs between 1 and 3 years of age, suffering from atopic dermatitis. Skin pruritus was assessed: during the first visit (examination 0), after elimination of secondary dermatosis (examination 1), 2 weeks after the treatment with prednisone - group I-E or cyclosporine - group II-C (examination 2) as well as 6 weeks after treatment (examination 3). In examination 0, the skin pruritus in all dogs was scored at 26.75%. Reduction of pruritus was observed during the treatment in examination 3 in dogs of group I-E (by 80.46%) and in dogs of group II-C (by 86.12%) in comparison with examination 0. Localisation of pruritus in particular body parts was also examined, resulting in observation that in examination 0 it was mostly found in interdigital space of front paws, facial part of the muzzle, chin, ears but not always with the same intensity in symmetrically placed body parts. Mean values of the measurement were statistically significant (P≤0.005) after 2, 4, and 6 weeks of the treatment in I-E and II-C groups. No statistically significant differences were observed between I-E and II-C groups in consecutive measurements.
The aim of the study was the assessment of the quantitative and qualitative cases of the inflammation of the external ear canal (otitis externa) in dogs treated at the Dermatological Consultation Room of Veterinary Clinics at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin in the years 2007-2011. The study group consisted of 240 dogs (135 females and 105 males), of various breeds, aged 8 weeks to 16 years. In 62.5% of dogs with otitis externa the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (AD) was established, 4.58% of the dogs were diagnosed with otodectosis (Otodectes cynotis), 2.93% - with contact dermatitis, 0.83% - autoimmune disease, while in 5.83% anatomical changes were found in the auditory canal. Dogs with otitis externa up to 1-year-of-age accounted for 24.58% of the research group, aged 1-3 years - 48.33%, and aged over 3 years - 27.09%. Unilateral inflammation of the external ear canal was diagnosed in 31.67% patients and bilateral in 68.33%. In 65.42% of dogs with otitis externa a chronic and relapsing nature of the disease was found. Dogs in which in addition to otitis externa dermatological symptoms located in other areas of the body were found accounted for 67.08% of the research group.
The purpose of this study was to assess the positive immediate reactions received from intradermal skin tests (IDST) which confirmed the presence of IgE-dependent hypersensitivity in dogs with atopic dermatitis, which were patients of the Dermatology Consulting Section at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin between 2007 and 2009. Intradermal skin tests were performed on 142 dogs (72 females and 70 males) from the Lublin voivodeship of different breeds ranging in age from 1 to 6 years (average 2.8 years). The allergen set used in this study was the Artuvetrin Test (ARTU Biologicals Europe B.V, Holland). The owners of 84 dogs observed the presence of skin lesions all year round regardless of season, while 58 dog owners noted them only in spring and summer. Most immediate positive reactions were ascertained from mite allergens (70.61%), fewer from pollen allergens (19.55%), and the fewest from animal (4.15%) and mould allergens (1.66%). Immediate positive reactions for a flea allergen (4.03% of all positive reactions) were also ascertained. In 98.6% of dogs polysensitization was found.
