ABSTRACT
Hashemnia M, Javdani M,
Nikousefat Z, Shahbazi M., Histo-pathological and immuno-histochemical findings in
feline herpes dermatitis, OnlJ Vet Res., 18(10):
815-822, 2014. We describe Histo-pathological
and immune-histochemical features of herpes
facial dermatitis in a 3-year-old female Persian cat. The lesion was
characterized by focal extensive ulceration of the epidermis, dense infiltrates
of eosinophils and plasma cells, multifocal hydropic degeneration of
keratinocytes with epithelial hyperplasia, and eosinophilic to amphophilic inclusion bodies in keratinocytes. Immunohistochemical analysis showed positive
immune-reactivity with antibodies against FHV-1 in epithelial cells. Based on
the findings the lesion was diagnosed as feline herpes
dermatitis.
