CASE PRESENTATION
A 5-year-old neutered male Shar-Pei presented to the dermatology service with swelling and ulcerative crusted lesions on the flanks and chest.
The patient was clinically diagnosed with Shar-Pei Autoinflammatory Disease (SPAID), characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and lethargy occurring once or twice annually, resolving spontaneously or with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Cytological examination
Cytological examination of the skin lesion revealed a neutrophilic infiltrate with infectious agents (coc bacteri) , compatible with neutrophilic dermatitis-panniculitis.
Treatment and outcome:
Treatment was 1mg/kg prednisolon oral tablets (24h) 10 days than reduce dosis
Rilexine (virbac) 300 mg twice Daily 15 days
Antibacterial shampoo weekly
The neutrophilic panniculitis and vasculitis observed in this case responded well to anti-inflammatory corticosteroid therapy, implying
an underlying autoinflammatory condition as the etiology of the skin lesions.
