This paper reports a case of spontaneous fire ant sting dermatitis in canine. The skin lesions consisted of nonfollicular, grouped pustules in the abdominal region. Several fire ants were found attached to the lesional skin. Histopathological findings included an intraepidermal neutrophilic pustule and predominantly neutrophilic interstitial dermatitis. An extensive area of collagen degeneration was also observed below the epidermal pustule. These clinical and histopathological findings are remarkable similar to those observed in fire ant stings in humans.
本文报道了一例犬自发性火蚁叮咬性皮炎病例。皮肤病变表现为腹部区域非毛囊性的成簇脓疱。在病变皮肤上发现了几只附着的火蚁。组织病理学检查结果包括表皮内嗜中性脓疱和以嗜中性为主的间质性皮炎。在表皮脓疱下方还观察到大片胶原变性。这些临床和组织病理学发现与人类火蚁叮咬中观察到的情况非常相似。
