MALASSEZIA SPP ASSOCIATED DERMATITIS IN A PET RABBIT (ORYCTOLAGUS CUNICULUS)

MALASSEZIA SPP ASSOCIATED DERMATITIS IN A PET RABBIT (ORYCTOLAGUS CUNICULUS)

Dermatophytosis is the most common mycotic disease in rabbits which is mainly associated to Trichophyton menthagrophytes and Microsporum canis. On the other hand, dermatitis associated to Malassezia spp is rarely reported in lagomorphs. This paper describes a case of dermatitis in a Lop male rabbit of 6 months of age. The animal showed foci of alopecia, skin peeling and hair shedding in three defined areas. A skin sample was cultured in Sabouraud dextrose agar at 25 °C and Malassezia spp was isolated. The animal received an antifungal therapy with griseofulvine obtaining favourable results; however, there was a recurrence and was treated with ketoconazole to fully recover from skin lesions.

La enfermedad micótica más común en conejos es la dermatofitosis, la cual está asociada principalmente a Trichophyton menthagrophytes y Microsporum canis, mientras que la dermatitis por Malassezia spp ha sido raramente reportada en lagomorfos. El presente trabajo reporta el caso de un conejo Lop macho, de seis meses de edad que fue presentado a la consulta por un problema de dermatitis. El animal presentaba focos de alopecia, descamación de piel y fácil desprendimiento de pelo contiguo en tres áreas definidas. En el cultivo micológico en agar Saburaud glucosado a 25 ºC se llegó a aislar Malassezia spp. Se le hizo una terapia antifúngica con griseofulvina con resultados favorables, aunque llegó a hacer recidiva y fue tratado seguidamente con ketoconazol llegando a recuperarse de las lesiones de piel.
