An unusual form of calicivirus dermatitis is described in two cats. Two fully vaccinated cats were re-admitted for anorexia and depression following routine ovariectomy. Signs of upper respiratory disease were not present. One cat subsequently showed painful necrosis of the incision wound, the other one developed dyspnoea with pleural effusion and discrete tongue ulcers. Intact pustular lesions confined to the surgically prepared abdomen appeared in both cats, respectively, on days 11 and 9. The histopathological diagnosis was panepidermal pustulosis and necrotizing dermatitis. Positive immunohistochemical staining consistent with feline calicivirus antigen was detected in epithelial cells within pustular lesions. The cats were treated with antibiotics and ketoprofen. The cat with progressive dyspnoea was euthanized. The clinical signs in the other cat rapidly and completely resolved following glucocorticoid therapy. It is hypothesized that the reported cases may represent a distinct calicivirus-induced pustular dermatitis following ovariectomy.
本文描述了两只猫身上出现的一种不寻常的杯状病毒性皮炎。两只已完全接种疫苗的猫在常规卵巢切除术后因厌食和抑郁再次入院。未出现上呼吸道疾病的症状。一只猫随后出现切口伤口疼痛性坏死，另一只猫出现呼吸困难并伴有胸腔积液和散在的舌部溃疡。分别在第11天和第9天，两只猫的腹部手术切口部位均出现了局限于手术区域的完整脓疱性病变。组织病理学诊断为全表皮脓疱病和坏死性皮炎。在脓疱性病变的上皮细胞中检测到与猫杯状病毒抗原一致的阳性免疫组化染色。两只猫均接受了抗生素和酮洛芬治疗。患有进行性呼吸困难的猫实施了安乐死。另一只猫在接受糖皮质激素治疗后临床症状迅速且完全缓解。据推测，所报告的病例可能代表了卵巢切除术后一种独特的由杯状病毒引起的脓疱性皮炎。
