Abstract in Portuguese
As dermatofitoses dos carnívoros domésticos são infecções fúngicas superficiais, causadas habitualmente por dois gêneros fúngicos: Microsporum sp e Trichophyton sp. Trata-se de uma antropozoonose, com importância na saúde pública Objetivou-se: caracterizar a população de cães e gatos acometidos por dermatofitose atendidos no Serviço de Dermatologia do HOVET /USP num período de 27 meses; determinar a valia do exame histopatológico como metodologia diagnóstica; e comparar a eficácia da griseofulvina e da terbinafina na terapia das dermatofitoses. Foram atendidos 76 animais com diagnóstico de dermatofitose, 47,3% pertenciam à espécie fetina e 52,7% à canina O agente etiológico isolado com maior freqüência em caninos e felinos foi Microsporum canis. Não se observou distribuição sazonal. Os cães de raça definida foram os mais acometidos (75,0%), dentre estes, aqueles da raça Yorkshire Temer (23,3%). Os felinos com e sem definição racial igualmente acometidos, porém os Persas (93,7%) foram os mais acometidos dentre aqueles com plena definição. Observou-se que a maioria dos animais infectados apresentava menos de um ano de idade (65,8%). As lesões mais observadas foram: alopecia, eritema, escamas e crostas. A maioria das lesões apresentava configuração circular e estavam localizadas nas regiões cefálicas, de tronco e de membros. O prurido esteve ausente em 50,0% dos caninos e em 88,8% dos felinos. As lesões dos cães tinham caráter mais inflamatório. O exame histopatológico mostrou-se pouco sensível (28,6%) e com alto número de falsos negativos (71,4%). A griseofulvina (5Omg/kg/dia) foi eficaz em l00,0% dos casos, sem acarretar efeitos colaterais, com média de tempo para cura de 41 dias. Já a terbinafina na dose de cinco mg/kg/dia, apresentou eficácia de 81,8%, sem induzir efeitos colaterais e com êxito terapêutico em 21 dias. Demonstrou-se assim, que a dose de 20 mg/kg/dia demonstrou a mesma eficácia que a dose de cinco, porém, com efeitos colaterais em 16,6% dos animais tratados, com tempo médio para cura de 33 dias. Demonstrou-se que a terbinafina é uma boa alternativa terapêutica, porém, a griseofulvina ainda se constitui na droga de eleição para o tratamento das dermatofitoses de caninos e felinos.

Abstract in English
Dermatophytosis in domestic carnivorous are superficial infections caused mainly by two genus of fungus: Microsporum sp and Trichophyton sp. This disease is an anthropozoonosis important for public health. The goals of this study were: characterize the population of cats and dogs with dermatophytosis treated in the Dermatology Service of HOVET FMVZ/USP in a period of 27 months; evaluate the validity of the histopathological exam as a methodology of diagnosis; and compare the efficacy of griseofulvin and terbinafine in the therapy of the dermatophytosis. Seventy six animals (47,3% were felines and 52,7% were canines) were evaluated in this study. The more frequent isolated etiological agent in canines and felines was Microsporum canis. Seasonality was not observed. The dogs with a defined breed were more predisposed (75,0%) and the Yorkshire Terrier dogs had a higher proportion of positive cultures (23,3%). The felines with or without breed definition got the same frequency, however, the Persians (93,7%) were more predisposed among those of pure breed. It was noticed that the majority of infected animals were under one year of age (65,8%). The most observed lesions were: alopecia, crusts, erythema and scales. The majority of the lesions had a circular form and were found in the cephalic, trunk and limb regions. There was no pruritus in 50,0% of the canines and 88,8% of the felines. The lesions were more inflammatory in dogs. The histopathological exam had a low sensitivity (28,6%) and a high number of false negatives (71,4%).Griseofulvin (50 mg/kg/day) was effective in 100,0% of the cases, with no side effects, the average time for cure was 41 days. The terbinafine used at the dosage of 5 mg/kg/day showed an efficacy of 81,3%, no side effects were observed as well and average time for cure was 21 days. The same efficacy using the dosage of 20 mg/kg/day of terbinafine was observed, although side effects were observed in 16,6% of the animals treated with an average time for cure of 33 days. The present study demonstrated that terbinafine is a good therapeutical alternative, although griseofulvin is still the first choice drug for the treatment of dermatophytosis in dogs and cats.
