초록

5년령의 암컷 Rottweiler가 하악 및 슬와림프절의 비대, 입주변부의 미란성 피부병변과 우측 후지와 경부에 다수의 구진과 결절의 증상으로 내원하였다. 식욕부진을 제외하고는 전신적으로 특이한 증상은 없었으며, 개인 동물병원에서 cephalexin과 carprofen을 처치하였으나 호전을 보이지 않았다. 혈액검사 결과, 미약한 빈혈과 심한 림프세포 증다증을 보였으며, 생화학적검사에서는 AST수치가 증가한 것을 제외하고는 모두 정상이었다. 피부 세포학적 검사에서 세균이 소수 관찰되었다. 피부조직병리학 검사에서 다발성의 농성육아조성 병변과 미만성 지방염의 특징이 관찰되었다. 특수염색으로 Brown and Brown gram [B+B], periodic acid-Schiff [PAS], Ziehi-Neelsen [ZN] acid-fast, Giemsa 염색을 실시하였으나 원인체를 발견하지 못했다. 따라서 무균성 농성 육아종성/육아종성 피부증후군으로 진단하였고 enrofloxacin과 prednisolone의 병용투여에 양호한 치료반응을 보였다. Rottweiler에서 발생한 나타난 SPGS를 최초로 증례보고한다.

Abstract

A 5-year-old Rottweiler neutered female dog was presented with signs of mandibular and popliteal lymphadenopathy, erosion in mucocutaneous junction of muzzle and lips, multiple papules and nodules in right rear limb and neck, and alopecia in right thorax. There was no further clinical sign except anorexia, sporadic fever and ocular hyperemia. She hadn't shown any response to carprofen prescribed by local veterinarian. Hematological abnormalities included mild anemia and severe lymphocytosis. On serum biochemical profile, only elevated AST level was noticed. On cytological examination, there was an evidence of mild bacterial infection which seemed to occur secondarily. Three sites were biopsied that included muzzle, upper lip and right thoracic region. Histopathologically, multifocal confluent pyogranulomatous dermatitis, scattered granulomatous inflammation in subcutis and severe septal panniculitis were observed. Special stainings(Gram, Acid-fast, PAS, Giemsa) were performed to reveal that a dog was negative for any organism. Finally, sterile pyogranuloma/granuloma syndrome (SPGS) was diagnosed. The treatment was initiated with predinsolone and enrofloxacin. The condition was successfully resolved after 4 weeks of treatment. This good response suggests that SPGS may be immune-mediated disease of its pathogenesis and this drug combination may be a viable therapeutic option for dogs suffering from SPGS. Also, this article reports a case of SPGS in Rottweiller for the first time.
