Subcorneal pustular dermatosis in dogs and in human beings: comparative aspects.
Subcorneal pustular dermatosis is a rare disorder in dogs and in human beings. A retrospective study of 13 cases of canine subcorneal pustular dermatosis indicates that many of the clinicopathologic features of this disease are similar in both species. In both the condition is characterized by a variably pruritic, sterile, pustular eruption that is resistant to antibiotics and glucocorticoids. The therapeutic response to dapsone is not uniformly successful in either species, and the disorder tends to be chronic and recurrent.
