A 9-year-old castrated male Chartreaux cat was presented for an ulcerative pododermatitis of all 4 paws. A clinical exam was inconclusive and supportive therapy did not improve the condition. Histologic examination revealed an ulcerative and eosinophilic dermatitis associated with epidermal and dermal nematodes and ova consistent with the aphasmid Anatrichosoma sp. Treatment with ivermectin completely resolved the skin lesions. Anatrichosomiasis should be included in the differential diagnosis of ulcerative pododermatitis in cats, at least in the southwestern United States.
一只9岁去势雄性沙特尔猫因四肢均患溃疡性足皮炎前来就诊。临床检查结果不明确,支持性治疗也未能改善病情。组织学检查显示为溃疡性嗜酸性皮炎,伴有与无尾感器类Anatrichosoma属相符的表皮和真皮线虫及虫卵。伊维菌素治疗使皮肤病变完全消退。至少在美国西南部地区,猫溃疡性足皮炎的鉴别诊断应包括Anatrichosomiasis。
