Infiltrative lymphocytic mural folliculitis (ILMF) is a histopathological reaction pattern reported to occur in a small number of equine inflammatory dermatoses. However, the prevalence of ILMF in a variety of equine dermatoses has not been reported. Skin biopsy specimens from 250 horses with inflammatory dermatoses and from 27 horses with physically healthy skin were therefore evaluated. ILMF was present in 82% of the diseased skin specimens examined. ILMF was not seen in physically healthy skin. It appears that ILMF is frequently seen in a wide variety of equine inflammatory dermatoses and therefore is of little diagnostic significance. However, ILMF is not seen in physically healthy equine skin and the presence of lymphocytes in equine hair follicle epithelium should therefore be considered abnormal.
浸润性淋巴细胞性黏膜滤泡炎（ILMF）是一种组织病理学反应模式，据报道在少数马的炎症性皮肤病中发生。然而，ILMF 在各种马的皮肤病中的患病率尚未报道。因此，对 250 匹患有炎症性皮肤病和 27 匹具有健康皮肤的马的皮肤活检标本进行了评估。在检查的患病皮肤标本中，ILMF 存在于 82%。在健康的皮肤上没有看到 ILMF。看来，ILMF 在各种马的炎症性皮肤病中经常出现，因此其诊断意义不大。然而，在健康的马皮肤上没有看到 ILMF，因此，马毛囊上皮中淋巴细胞的存在应被视为异常。
