“…Comparable to humans and dogs [38 ] a fungal dysbiosis was found with next generation sequencing of skin swabs taken from healthy and allergic cats [39 ]. Skin hydration as a measure of the skin barrier did not always correlate with clinical scoring indicating that a barrier defect may not be as relevant in cats [40 ].…”

The purpose of this review article is to give an overview of atopic dermatitis in companion animals and of recent developments including knowledge on immunological background, novel treatment options and difficulties in disease management. The prevalence of hypersensitivities seems to be increasing. The pathogenetic mechanisms are not fully understood, yet multiple gene abnormalities and altered immunological processes are involved. In dogs and cats, the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis is based on history, clinical examination and exclusion of other differential diagnoses. Intradermal testing or testing for serum allergen-specific Immunoglobulin E is only used to identify allergens for inclusion in the extract for allergen immunotherapy. Symptomatic therapy includes glucocorticoids, ciclosporin, essential fatty acids and antihistamines. A selective janus kinase 1 inhibitor and a caninized monoclonal interleukin-31 antibody are the newest options for symptomatic treatment, although longterm effects still need to be assessed. The chronic and often severe nature of the disease, the costly diagnostic workup, frequent clinical flares and lifelong treatment are challenging for owners, pets and veterinarians. Patience and excellent communication skills are needed to achieve a good owner compliance and satisfactory clinical outcome for the animal.

“…Preliminary studies on skin barrier function in atopic cats with skin disease show that transepidermal water loss may be increased, and hydration may, at least in some sites, be decreased [ 96 ]. There is limited evidence of any useful correlation between clinical scoring systems and measurements of hydration [ 97 ]. Much work needs to be done to assess skin barrier function in atopic cats and its potential relevance to the pathogenesis of the disease.…”

Atopic Dermatitis in Domestic Animals: What Our Current Understanding Is and How This Applies to Clinical Practice

Atopic dermatitis is a clinical syndrome that affects both people and animals. Dogs closely mimic the complexity of the human skin disease, and much progress has been made in recent years in terms of our understanding of the role of skin impairment and the identification of new treatments. Cats and horses also develop atopic syndromes which include both cutaneous and respiratory signs, yet studies in these species are lagging. It is now recognized that atopic dermatitis is not a single disease but a multifaceted clinical syndrome with different pathways in various subgroups of patients. Appreciating this complexity is clinically relevant as we develop more targeted treatments which may work well in some patients but not in others. Different phenotypes of atopic dermatitis have been described in dogs, and it is possible that phenotypes related to breed and age may exist in other animals similar to how they are described in people. The awareness of different mechanisms of disease leads to the desire to correlate different phenotypes with specific biomarkers and responses to treatment. In this review, the current understanding and updated information on atopic syndrome in animals are described, highlighting opportunities for further studies in the future.

Kedilerde baş ve boyun bölgesi dermatiti (Bbbd), geniş doğal oluşumu ve her gün artan vaka sayısı nedeniyle büyük ilgi uyandırmaktadır. Kaşıntı lezyonların bilinen özelliğidir. Bu retrospektif çalışmada, toplam 15 kedi [7 sağlıklı ve 8 baş ve boyun dermatiti ile] kaydedilmiş ve seçilen cilt biyofizik belirteçleri için korenometrik analize tabi tutulmuştur. Ortalama (standart sapma) pH değerleri açısından, sağlıklı olanların aksine, Fhnd'li kedilerde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark (p = 0.003) gözlenmiştir. Öte yandan, hidrasyon değerlerinin değerlerinde bir anlamlılık gözlenmemiştir. Sonuç olarak bu çalışma Bbbd bulunan kedilerde topikal uygulamalarda dikkat edilmesi gerektiğini belirten ön çalışma verileri olarak değerlendirilebilir. Measurement of skin hydration by corneometric analysis of head and neck dermatitis cats ABSTRACT Feline head and neck dermatitis (Fhnd) has been arousing great interest due to its wide natural occurence and increased number of cases everyday. Pruritus is the well known hallmark of the lesions. In the present retrospective study a total of 15 cats [7 healthy and 8 with head and neck dermatitis] were enrolled and subjected to corenometric analysis for selected skin biophysical marker. Regarding mean (standart deviation) pH values a statistically significant difference (p=0.003) was observed among cats with Fhnd in contrast to healthy ones. On the other hand, no significance was observed to those of hydration values. In conclusion it should not be unwise to draw preliminary results concluding topical preperation should be used in caution to those of cats with Fhnd.
