Skin lesions lasted between 1.2 and 56\u2009months, and they consisted of erythematous plaques with a linear\u2010to\u2010serpiginous, annular, gyrate or iris configuration predominating on the trunk and extremities. Scaling was often seen trailing the edge of the centrifugally expanding erythema. All cats were otherwise asymptomatic or mildly pruritic. Dermatophytosis was ruled out by special stains and\/or fungal cultures in eight cats. Microscopic lesions revealed focal, mild\u2010to\u2010moderate epidermal hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis, minimal\u2010to\u2010mild dysplasia and subepidermal collagen smudging. Special stains were negative for dermatophytes. The clinical remission of FE was not achieved with diet changes or medical interventions; yet, a spontaneous, transient, partial or complete improvement occurred in most cats.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is the first report of FE in sphynx cats from Eastern Europe.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vde.13240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,29]],"date-time":"2024-01-29T10:03:15Z","timestamp":1706522595000},"page":"346-353","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Figurate erythema in 11 Eastern European sphynx cats"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2234-9062","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ekaterina","family":"Mendoza\u2010Kuznetsova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine Tufts University  North Grafton Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Viktorija","family":"Lokianskiene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary clinic \u2018VetPet LT\u2019  Jonava Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3243-6741","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilze","family":"Matise\u2010VanHoutan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Matise Veterinary Pathology Service  Riga Latvia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olesya","family":"Fiskovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary clinic \u2018Beliy Klik\u2019  Moscow Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1399-0034","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thierry","family":"Olivry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine North Carolina State University  Raleigh North Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"963","DOI":"10.1111\/ddg.14450","article-title":"Figurate erythemas\u2014update and diagnostic approach","volume":"19","author":"Boehner A","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Dtsch Dermatol Ges"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","DOI":"10.4103\/ijd.ijd_743_21"},{"volume-title":"Fitzpatrick's dermatology","year":"2019","author":"Ahn CS","key":"e_1_2_10_4_1"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","DOI":"10.5021\/ad.2016.28.2.257"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","DOI":"10.1111\/vde.12162"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","first-page":"79","article-title":"Erythema chronicum migrans\u2010\u2010a tickborne spirochetosis","volume":"40","author":"Burgdorfer W","year":"1983","journal-title":"Acta Trop"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","DOI":"10.5114\/reum.2018.74748"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","DOI":"10.1097\/00000441-200105000-00002"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","DOI":"10.3109\/s10165-009-0257-y"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clindermatol.2021.12.011"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2010.07.002"}],"container-title":["Veterinary Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/vde.13240","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,6]],"date-time":"2024-05-06T04:13:02Z","timestamp":1714968782000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/vde.13240"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,29]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/vde.13240"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/vde.13240","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0959-4493","1365-3164"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0959-4493"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1365-3164"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,29]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2023-02-26","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-01-16","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-01-29","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
