Occasionally, secondary infection with bacteria occurs with concurrent pustule s and impetigo . ref Habif, T. P. 1995 Clinical Dermatology .

A history of topical steroid or immunosuppressive agent is noted. Confirmation is with a Excoriation skin scraping and microscopic exam with potassium hydroxide solution . Characteristic hyphae are seen running through the Squamous epithelium squamous epithelial cells . Fungal Cell culture culture is not necessary, but might be considered if the patient is using a combination antifungal and topical steroid product. Cause The use of a topical steroid is the most common cause. Frequently, a combination topical steroid and antifungal cream is prescribed by a physician. These combinations include Betamethasone betamethasone dipropionate and clotrimazole trade name Lotrisone and triamcinolone acetonide and clotrimazole . In area of open skin, these combinations are acceptable in treating fungal infection of the skin.

It was first observed at the Crystal Lake Hatchery, Shasta County , California , and has now been reported from Idaho , Oregon , Washington U.S. state Washington , British Columbia and Alaska Bartholomew et al. 1989 . Life history In addition to the fish host, C. shasta infects a freshwater polychaete worm Bartholomew et al., 1997 . Actinospores are released from the worm, and infect fish, on contact, in the water column. Neither horizontal fish to fish , nor vertical fish to egg transmissions have been documented under laboratory conditions, suggesting that the worm host is necessary for completion of the life cycle. Spores are released back into freshwater system after its fish host dies, however the complete life cycle, host and vector interaction is not fully understood especially the ecology of the polychaete host . Research indicates that the potential for infection is enhanced when water temperatures are high, water flow is low, or numbers of infectious C. shasta are relatively high. Infection rates appear to be higher in or below still water environments than river ine ones. Pathology of infection Clinical indications of infection in salmons include lethargy , loss of body mass, darkening of the skin , ascites , eye exopthalmia and kidney pustule s, These symptoms vary from one salmonid species to another, and also depend on life stage of the host.

Image Bacterial otitis in dog.jpg detailed image Otitis externa is an inflammation of the outer ear and ear canal. Animals are commonly prone to ear infection, and this is one of the most common manifestations of allergy in dogs. In dogs, those breeds with floppy ears are more prone, since air flow is limited and a warm, moist environment built up, which is conducive to infection. The external ear in animals is longer and deeper than in humans, which makes it easier for infection or wax to build up or be hard to remove. Complete ear canal inspection requires the use of an otoscope by a veterinarian . Infections are usually secondary to inflammation or to improper grooming techniques. Infections can be caused by both bacteria l and mycosis fungal origin, as well as small organisms such as ear mite s. Malassezia pachydermatis is a common fungal agent for ear infections in dogs. Staphylococcus intermedius is the most common bacterial infection. A more serious ear infection, with pus in the ear, may be caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Symptoms Image Ear infection in cocker spaniel.JPG thumb left Severe otitis externa in a Cocker Spaniel Signs of ear infection include shaking of the head, and scratching at or under the ear.
