以下内容摘自犬猫细胞学,该书封面见下面照片。不知为什么很多人放着简单的细胞学不用,乐此不疲地使用DTM培养基,也不知培养了多少杂菌,还要津津乐道。谁受累帮大家翻译一下?
Dermatophytosis
This is a common infectious and often contagious disease to humans that frequently involves the superficial layers of the skin, hairs, and nails. Microsporum and Trichophyton sp. are the most common genera of dermatophytes associated with dogs and cats. The lesions typically present with focal alopecia, broken hair shafts, crusts, scales, and erythema on the head, feet, and tail of
dogs and cats (Caruso et al., 2002). Less commonly seen are raised or dermal nodules called kerions (Logan et al.,2006). A kerion forms when the infected hair follicle ruptures and both the fungus and keratin spill into the dermis, eliciting an intense infl ammatory response. Cytologic specimens reveal a pyogranulomatous inflammation with degenerate neutrophils and large epithelioid
macrophages. Arthrospores that measure 2 to 4 μm possess a thin, clear capsule (Fig. 3-20A). The arthrospores and nonstaining hyphae are associated with hair shafts, which are best visualized using clearing agents with plucked hairs (Fig. 3-20B&C) or methenamine silver staining (Fig. 3-20D) or PAS (Fig. 3-20E). Fungal culture is necessary for identifi cation. An uncommon presentation is a dermatophytic pseudomycetoma, usually seen in Persian cats, that is most often caused by Microsporum canis (Zimmerman et al.,2003). It presents as a nodular granuloma with fistulous tracts deep into subcutaneous tissues. Cytologically, this involves macrophages with abundant foamy cytoplasm and numerous multinucleated giant cells (Fig. 3-20F). Arthrospores may be present along with fungal hyphae that have an irregular shape and size and may stain variably with Romanowsky-type stains (Fig. 3-20G). Positive staining occurs with PAS and methenamine silver (Fig. 3-20H). Treatment of the nodules involves surgical excision and antifungal drugs.
FIGURE 3-20. A-E, Dermatophytosis. A, Tissue imprint. Dog. Squamous epithelium, remnant hair shaft, and mostly neutrophilic infl ammation are present along with moderate numbers of arthrospores. These basophilic, oval to elongate structures with a thin, clear capsule measure 2-3 μm in width and 2-5 μm in length. (Modifi ed Wright; HP oil.) B, Hair pluck. Low-magnifi cation view of keratincleared hair shaft with attached arthrospores. (Unstained; HP oil.) C, Hair pluck. High-magnifi cation view of keratin-cleared hair shaft demonstrating arthrospores outside and fungal hyphae within the hair. (Unstained; HP oil.) D, Tissue section. Dog. Note the black stained hyphae within the hair shaft from this tissue section of skin. Diagnosis confi rmed as M. canis by culture. (Gomori’s methenamine silver; HP oil.) E, Tissue aspirate. Dog. Dermal nodule (kerion) with multiple pink oval arthroconidia within neutrophils and extracellular. Culture results indicated Microsporum canis infection. (Periodic acid-Schiff; HP oil.) Same case F-H, Dermatophytic pseudomycetoma. Tissue aspirate. Cat. F, Several multinucleated giant cells are present in this 3-cm superfi cial mass on the lateral abdomen of a Persian cat.
