アトピー性皮膚炎(以下,AD)の犬60頭と痒を有する非AD犬53頭に皮内反応および血清特異IgE抗体測定(以下,血清検査)を実施した.AD犬の皮内反応陽性率はノミ40.0%,チリダニ(以下,ダニ)96.7%,花粉18.2%,血清検査陽性率はノミ13.3%,ダニ83.3%,花粉33.3%であった.非AD犬の皮内反応陽性率はノミ15.1%,ダニ5.7%,花粉6.7%,血清検査陽性率はノミ9.4%,ダニ23.7%,花粉6.7%であった.AD犬におけるダニ陽性抗原の内訳は,皮内反応がコナヒョウヒダニ(以下,Df)85.2%,ヤケヒョウヒダニ(以下,Dp)29.6%,血清検査がDf
83.3%,Dp 22.2%であった.非AD犬におけるダニ陽性抗原の内訳は,皮内反応がDf 7.9%,Dp 0%,血清検査がDf 23.7%,Dp 7.9%であった.本邦のAD犬に関与する抗原として,Dfを中心としたダニがきわめて重要であることが明らかになった. --------------------日獣会誌 52,658〜660(1999)
Responses to Antigens in Dogs with Atopic DermatitisMasahiko NAGATA
SUMMARY Intradermal skin tests (IDST) and measurements of allergen-specific IgE antibodies (serologic tests)
were performed on 60 dogs with atopic dermatitis (AD) and 53 pruritic dogs without AD. Dogs with AD showed
positive reactions to fleas in 40.0% of cases examined, to house dust mites (mites) in 96.7%, and to
pollen in 18.2%. Serologic tests on the same animals produced positive reactions to fleas in 13.3% of
all cases, to mites in 83.3%, and to pollen in 33.3%. IDST on pruritic dogs without AD showed positive
reactions to fleas in 15.1% of all cases, to mites in 5.7%, and to pollen in 6.7%. Serologic tests on
the same animals showed positive reactions to fleas in 9.4% of all cases, to mites in 23.7%, and to pollen
in 6.7%. According to IDTS results, 85.5% of dogs with AD reacted positively to the mite Dermatophagoides
farinae (Df) and 29.6% to the mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp). Serologic tests showed that the
corresponding percentages were Df 83.3% and Dp 22.2%. According to the results of IDST, 7.9% of pruritic
dogs without AD, reacted positively to Df and 0% to Dp. The corresponding percentages were Df 23.7% and
Dp 7.9% in serologic tests. The findings of this study indicate that the mite is the most significant
antigen associated with canine AD and that Df is the most common variety in Japan. --------------------J. Jpn. Vet. Med. Assoc., 52, 658〜660(1999) |
