Teaching goals

• Cats show unique reactive and lesional patterns in their skin conditions. These reaction patterns reflect the skin's response to various inflammatory stimuli, and they are just that in themselves: patterns, not definitive diagnoses.
• The most common reaction patterns are usually indicative of allergic disease, however, other differential diagnoses, such as infectious and parasitic diseases, should be systematically considered and excluded.
• The most common reaction patterns are: self-induced alopecia; head and neck pruritus; miliary dermatitis; eosinophilic granuloma complex.
• The goals of this class will be to present the clinical presentation of the cutaneous reaction patterns considered characteristic of feline atopic syndrome.

Teaching goals

• Historically, in the treatment of pyoderma, empirical systemic antibiotic therapy based on the clinical presentation was considered adequate, with an emphasis on the selection of an adequate antibiotic dose and duration of treatment.
• With the recent emergence of multi-resistant bacteria, the approach to pyoderma has changed, and the correct diagnosis through cytological analysis and bacterial culture is now of great importance as it allows us to ensure the responsible use of systemic antibiotic therapy.
• The objectives of this class are to provide keys for a correct choice of the most appropriate treatment for different types of pyoderma.

Teaching goals

• Scaling is an accumulation of loose debris from the stratum corneum (corneocytes). Scaling can have various appearances and be dry, thin, slab or greasy and vary in color from white, silver, yellow, brown or grey.
• Corneocytes are the end product of epidermal keratinization and the normal loss of these cells is not visible to the naked eye as corneocytes are released individually or in small groups. In abnormal scaling, there is a loss of large scales. Scaling may be primary in primary idiopathic seborrhea and ichthyosis. However, scaling is more often secondary to a chronic inflammatory process. In the presence of pruritus, the differential diagnosis should include parasitic infections, allergies, infectious diseases such as pyoderma or Malassezia dermatitis.
• If pruritus is not present, differential diagnoses should include primary endocrinopathies, demodicosis, dermatophytosis, leishmaniasis, nutritional imbalances, metabolic diseases, and cutaneous neoplasia such as cutaneous epitheliotropic lymphoma. In cats, exfoliative dermatitis associated or not with thymoma should also be considered.
