Mycobacterial skin disease in cats associated with atypical mycobacteria is an uncommon disease in small animal practice, and the disease is rarely encountered in dogs. A mycobacterial etiology should be considered in cases of chronic nodular dermatitis, draining tracts, and panniculitis. Cats and dogs affected with atypical mycobacterial infections are usually otherwise healthy, and systemic illness is unusual. In most cases, a diagnosis is made based on histopathological findings and growth of a causative organism. Group IV atypical mycobacteria can usually be grown following submission of affected tissue. Treatment should be based on antibiotic sensitivity test results. Treatment is prolonged and is unsuccessful in many cases. In cases of feline leprosy and canine leproid granuloma syndrome, organisms are difficult if not impossible to grow, and clinical and histopathological findings should be used to make a diagnosis. Spontaneous resolution of disease has been reported in atypical mycobacteriosis, feline leprosy, and canine leproid granuloma syndrome.
猫的非典型分枝杆菌相关皮肤疾病在小动物临床实践中是一种罕见疾病，在犬中很少见。对于慢性结节性皮炎、引流道和脂膜炎病例，应考虑分枝杆菌病因。感染非典型分枝杆菌的猫和犬通常其他方面健康，全身性疾病不常见。在大多数情况下，根据组织病理学发现和致病生物体的生长情况做出诊断。提交受影响组织后，通常可以培养出IV组非典型分枝杆菌。治疗应基于抗生素敏感性试验结果。治疗时间长，且在许多情况下不成功。在猫麻风病和犬类麻风样肉芽肿综合征病例中，即使不是不可能，生物体也很难培养，应利用临床和组织病理学发现进行诊断。非典型分枝杆菌病、猫麻风病和犬类麻风样肉芽肿综合征均有疾病自发缓解的报道。
