The prevalences of breeds and concurrent diseases in a group of 40 dogs with pruritic skin disease associated with elevated cutaneous Malassezia pachydermatis populations were compared with samples of a dermatological hospital population. The ages and genders of the affected dogs were comparable to those of the dermatology population. Basset hounds, cocker spaniels and West Highland white terriers were significantly overrepresented. Concurrent diseases were diagnosed in 27 dogs, of which 15 were atopic. However, the prevalences of atopic disease, primary keratinisation defects and endocrinopathies in dogs with elevated cutaneous M pachydermatis populations were comparable to those in the dermatology population as a whole. These results indicate that certain breeds are predisposed to the development of elevated cutaneous M pachydermatis populations and that concurrent skin diseases can frequently be identified in affected dogs. However, the relationship between these concurrent diseases and abnormal M pachydermatis populations remains unclear.
将一组40只患有与皮肤马拉色菌数量增加相关的瘙痒性皮肤病的犬种的品种和并发疾病患病率，与一家皮肤科医院人群的样本进行了比较。患病犬的年龄和性别与皮肤科人群的年龄和性别相当。巴吉度猎犬、可卡犬和西高地白梗的比例明显过高。27只犬被诊断出患有并发疾病，其中15只患有特应性皮炎。然而，皮肤马拉色菌数量增加的犬中特应性疾病、原发性角质化缺陷和内分泌病的患病率与整个皮肤科人群的患病率相当。这些结果表明，某些品种易患皮肤马拉色菌数量增加，并且在患病犬中经常可以发现并发皮肤病。然而，这些并发疾病与异常马拉色菌数量之间的关系仍不清楚。
