Resumo: | The present study aims to determine the epidemiological, clinical and laboratorial profile of the dermatopathies that affect dogs and cats living in a semi-arid area in the Northeast of Brazil. Seventy-eight dogs and cats consulted at the Veterinary Hospital with dermatological complaints were included in this study. Skin lesions were characterized with respect to morphology, appearance, and distribution, an epidemiological questionnaire was applied, and samples were collected for complementary examination. The diagnosis was confirmed by parasitological and microbiological tests. There was a predominance of the canine species (93.6%), of young animals (46.3%), and of animals of undefined breeds (61.5%). It was observed that 29.5% of the affections were of fungal aetiology, 14.1% were bacterial, 3.9% were scabies. In 5.1% of the cases there were associations between different pathogens, and in 47.4% the laboratory examination was negative for the pathogens investigated. The most frequent clinical manifestations included alopecia (74.4%), pruritus (61.6%) and erythema (43.6%), distributed mainly in the dorsal-ventral region (36.1%) or even disseminated (43.1%). With respect to One Health, 51.3% (40/78) of the owners reported that they did not know what "zoonoses" were. Dermatopathies have been shown to be important disorders, especially the mycotic and bacterial diseases. Atypical cases of infections motivated by pathogens little described in the literature as etiologic agents of dermatopathies in dogs and cats were observed. |

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar el perfil epidemiológico, clínico y de laboratorio de las dermatopatías que afectan a perros y gatos domiciliados en una zona semiárida del noreste de Brasil. En este estudio se incluyeron setenta y ocho perros y gatos tratados en el Hospital Veterinario con quejas dermatológicas. Las lesiones cutáneas se caracterizaron en términos de morfología, apariencia y distribución, se aplicó un cuestionario epidemiológico y se recolectaron muestras para su posterior examen. Diagnóstico confirmado en pruebas parasitológicas y microbiológicas. Hubo predominio de la especie canina (93,6%), de animales jóvenes (46,3%) y de raza no definida (61,5%). Se observó que el 29,5% de las afecciones fueron de etiología fúngica, 14,1% bacterianas, 3,9% sarna. En el 5,1% de los casos hubo asociaciones entre diferentes patógenos y en el 47,4% la prueba de laboratorio fue negativa para los patógenos estudiados. Las manifestaciones clínicas más frecuentes incluyeron alopecia (74,4%), prurito (61,6%) y eritema (43,6%), distribuidos principalmente en la región dorsoventral (36,1%) o incluso diseminados (43,1%). En cuanto a Unica Salud, el 51,3% (40/78) de los tutores informaron que no sabían qué eran las “zoonosis”. Se demostró que las dermatopatías son afecciones importantes, especialmente enfermedades micóticas y bacterianas. Se observaron casos atípicos de infecciones causadas por patógenos poco descritos en la literatura como agentes etiológicos de dermatopatías en perros y gatos.O presente trabalho objetivou determinar o perfil epidemiológico, clínico e laboratorial das dermatopatias que acometem os cães e gatos domiciliados em área semiárida do Nordeste do Brasil.

As lesões de pele foram caracterizadas quanto à morfologia, aspecto e distribuição, foi aplicado um questionário epidemiológico, e colhidas amostras para exame complementar.
