| Abstract;Cytological examination showed a large subcutaneous mass on the right lateral elbow of a 5-year-old boxer dog to be pyogranulomatous dermatitis. The entire mass was excited. Because histopathological examination revealed fungal hyphae of Nocardia, we diagnosed pyogranulomatous dermatitis cased by Nocardia subspecies. Long-term adjunctive antibiotic therapy was applied. The large open wound was washed frequently and treated with chitosan, which has incarnant effects. In addition, the wound was covered with chitin-coating dressing as an epithelialization accelerator. On the 60th day, the wound had been reduced about one-tenth from its original size and on the 74th day one-fiftieth. On the 88th day, it was fully closed. After 18 months, there has been no recurrence of the disease. (author abst.) |
