Abstract

A 6-year-old, neutered female, Cocker spaniel presented with severe abdominal erythema and crusts. These conditions developed 1 month ago. This patient had a history of using humectant spray for several months. Irritant contact dermatitis was diagnosed by history, clinical signs, laboratory and histopathologic examinations (H-E stain). Complete blood count and serum chemistry showed no remarkable findings. Histopathologic examination of skin samples revealed parakeratosis accompanied by acanthosis of the dermis and mild perivascular inflammations of the superficial dermis. Clinical signs were improved after avoidance of suspected offending substance.

6년령의 중성화한 암컷 코커 스파니엘이 1개월 전부터 시작된 서혜부의 홍반과 가피, 소양감을 주증으로 본원에 내원하였다. 환축은 건성 피부에 대하여 보습을 목적으로 오트밀 샴푸와 보습용 스프레이를 수 개월간 사용하였다. 전혈구 검사와 혈청 생화학 검사결과 특이 소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 조직병리학적 검사 결과, 표피의 이상각화증과 표피증식증이 확인되었으며, 진피 상층부의 혈관주위 염증이 관찰되었다. 병력, 임상증상, 신체검사 및 혈액학적 검사, 피부기본 검사와 조직병리학적 검사를 통하여 자극성 접촉성 피부염으로 진단하였다. 자극성 접촉성 피부염의 원인으로 생각되는 보습용 스프레이의 사용을 중지하였으며 2주 후 서혜부의 홍반, 가피와 소양감이 개선되었다.
