In clinical practice, many of these dogs exhibit only pruritus.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Hypothesis\/Objectives\u2002\u2013\u2002<\/jats:bold>The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of pruritus in these dermatoses and their potential usefulness for diagnosis.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Animals\u2002\u2013\u2002<\/jats:bold>Dogs included were selected from the Oniris clinical data. Cases were selected in which the dogs had only one of the three dermatoses diagnosed. The diagnosis of CAD was based on Pr\u00e9laud\u2019s criteria and positive intradermal tests except flea; for FBH by compatible clinical signs and a response to an intradermal test with flea allergen; and for FI by the presence of fleas. Moreover, in each group, other primary pruritic skin diseases were excluded.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2002\u2013\u2002<\/jats:bold>Location, behavioural manifestations, seasonality and quantification of the pruritus were evaluated.

The period (season) of onset was not statistically different either for each dermatosis or among the three dermatoses. Some locations were highly specific for one dermatosis as follows: ventral abdomen\/medial surface of thigh (chewing) and radius\/carpus\/tibia\/tarsus (chewing) in FI; back\/dorsolumbar area (chewing) and tail (chewing) in FBH; and paws (chewing\/licking) and face\/neck (rubbing) in CAD.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and clinical importance\u2002\u2013\u2002<\/jats:bold>Some features of pruritus could be suggestive of the causal disease, with possible diagnostic value in pruritic dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3164.2012.01092.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,27]],"date-time":"2012-09-27T05:15:45Z","timestamp":1348722945000},"page":"487","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Characterization of pruritus in canine atopic dermatitis, flea bite hypersensitivity and flea infestation and its role in diagnosis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Vincent","family":"Bruet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick J.","family":"Bourdeau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Roussel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Latitia","family":"Imparato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean\u2010Claude","family":"Desfontis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","first-page":"490","volume-title":"Muller and Kirk\u2019s Small Animal Dermatology","author":"Scott DW","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","first-page":"627","volume-title":"Muller and Kirk\u2019s Small Animal Dermatology","author":"Scott DW","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.1986.tb02119.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","first-page":"1057","article-title":"R\u00e9\u00e9valuation des crit\u00e8res de diagnostic de la dermatite atopique","volume":"11","author":"Pr\u00e9laud P","year":"1998","journal-title":"Rev Med Vet (Toulouse)"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3164.2009.00758.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3164.2004.00414_23.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.148.20.621"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","unstructured":"BourdeauP BruetV TraversF.Evolution of flea infestation in dogs on eleven years period in west part of France inProceedings.
