A condition of digital dermatitis causing lameness in a dairy herd is described. The lesion was a small circumscribed area of epidermal inflammation in the skin immediately above the coronet between the bulbs of the heel. Topical treatment, consisting of excoriation and application of a gentian violet and tetracycline aerosol spray, was effective. Although the high incidence and rapid onset of the condition suggested an infectious cause, no organism was isolated consistently.
描述了一种导致奶牛群跛行的指皮炎病症。病变是蹄冠上方、跟球之间皮肤处一个小的局限性表皮炎症区域。局部治疗，包括擦伤处理以及应用龙胆紫和四环素气雾剂喷雾，是有效的。尽管该病症的高发病率和快速发病表明存在感染性病因，但始终未分离出病原体。
