Abstract

An 8-year-old gelding, with a 1-year history of intense pruritus only after exercise, was diagnosed as having cholinergic pruritus. Provocative testing, using exercise and hot-water baths to increase core body temperature, assisted in the diagnosis. Cholinergic pruritus in human beings is a variant of the more common syndrome, cholinergic urticaria, which is characterized by intense pruritus and pinpoint urticaria. With cholinergic pruritus, intense itching results without urticaria. Specific diagnostic laboratory tests have not been developed.

摘要

一匹8岁的阉割公马，有仅在运动后出现强烈瘙痒的1年病史，被诊断为患有胆碱能性瘙痒症。通过运动和热水浴来提高核心体温的激发试验有助于诊断。人类的胆碱能性瘙痒症是更常见的综合征——胆碱能性荨麻疹的一种变体，其特征为强烈瘙痒和点状荨麻疹。而胆碱能性瘙痒症则是在没有荨麻疹的情况下出现强烈瘙痒。目前尚未开发出特定的诊断性实验室检测方法。
