title: Immunofluorescence testing in a bullous skin disease of a dog.
abstract: A chronic skin disease in a dog, which resembled a pemphigus-like condition, was studied histologically and by direct immunofluorescence testing. Histologic examination revealed a bullous disorder and was a useful diagnostic tool; however, direct immunofluorescence testing showed the disease to be equivalent to bullous pemphigoid of man.
