For other regions, Tzanck test is mainly used to diagnose pemphigus and herpetic infections. Some clinics use biopsies even for herpetic infections. [4] This is because the advantages of this test are not well known, and the main textbooks of dermatopathology do not include dedicated sections for cytology or Tzanck smear. [5]
Pemphigus foliaceus skin eruption on the abdomen of a dog. Pemphigus foliaceus has been recognized in pet dogs, cats, and horses, and is the most common autoimmune skin disease diagnosed in veterinary medicine. PF in animals produces clusters of small vesicles that quickly evolve into pustules. Pustules may rupture, forming erosions or become ...
Now there have been documented cases of cats that get sick and survive the infection and even those that never show clinical signs at all. [2] [5] [9] [10] Cats cannot catch the infection from another cat directly without being bitten by a tick. [citation needed] The life cycle of the protozoa has a tissue phase and an erythrocytic (red blood ...

Pemphigus foliaceus is an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin. [1] Pemphigus foliaceus causes a characteristic inflammatory attack at the subcorneal layer of epidermis, which results in skin lesions that are scaly or crusted erosions with an erythematous (red) base. [2] Mucosal involvement is absent even with widespread disease. [3]

Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare chronic blistering skin disease and the most common form of pemphigus.Pemphigus was derived from the Greek word pemphix, meaning blister. [1] It is classified as a type II hypersensitivity reaction in which antibodies are formed against desmosomes, components of the skin that function to keep certain layers of skin bound to each other.
These out ruled conditions can be for example; otoacariasis, atopic dermatitis, pemphigus, food hypersensitivity, autoimmune diseases and systemic lupus erythematosus. [13] Otoacariasis is a rare infestation of the ear canal, which can be caused by different types of mites and ticks.
