00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,510
Hello, and welcome to the April episode
of Chattering with International Cat Care.

2
00:00:10,190 --> 00:00:14,159
I'm Yaiza Gomez Mejias, iCatCare
veterinary community coordinator

3
00:00:14,210 --> 00:00:15,600
and host of this month's podcast.

4
00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:19,620
Our clinical spotlight this
month is focused on dermatology.

5
00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:25,550
Dr Kelly St Denis will be speaking
with Dr Banovic about immune-mediated

6
00:00:25,550 --> 00:00:29,919
skin disease in cats, it's
presentation, diagnosis and management.

7
00:00:30,659 --> 00:00:35,309
But first, I will be interviewing
Dr Llibertat Real Sampietro on

8
00:00:35,309 --> 00:00:39,309
her JFMS Open report about fatal
disseminated toxoplasmosis.

9
00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:48,580
What is toxoplasmosis and
how does it affect cats?

10
00:00:49,929 --> 00:00:53,589
Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused
by Toxoplasma gondii, which is

11
00:00:53,689 --> 00:00:57,609
an apicomplexan proteasome, and
it has a worldwide distribution.

12
00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:03,229
Cats are pivotal in Toxoplasma persisting
in the environment because they are

13
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:10,539
the only mammal or the only being where
Toxoplasma can sexually reproduce and

14
00:01:11,090 --> 00:01:14,829
so how it affects cats is usually it
doesn't affect them at all actually.

15
00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:19,499
And then sometimes in some cats, it
can cause disease, which can range

16
00:01:19,499 --> 00:01:22,280
from mild to acute fatal disease.

17
00:01:22,289 --> 00:01:26,079
So we can have a wide range of
presentations, but most of the time

18
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:31,090
we will have no disease at all because
the relationship between toxoplasma

19
00:01:31,130 --> 00:01:36,810
and cats, and cats brains, which we can
speak about later, it's very ancient.

20
00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:40,240
It's very old, and so they
have adapted very well.

21
00:01:40,289 --> 00:01:42,720
It will usually not cause
any disease in cats.

22
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:45,720
How do cats catch the disease?

23
00:01:46,850 --> 00:01:52,060
Cats can catch the disease by mostly
two ways, but there's a third one also.

24
00:01:52,060 --> 00:01:57,389
But basically they will catch it by
hunting small prey, that can be rodents

25
00:01:57,389 --> 00:02:02,979
or birds, because toxoplasma can live
in any warm blooded living being.

26
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:08,390
But also if humans feed raw meat
to cats, they can also catch it.

27
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:13,249
And also sometimes they can
become infected by their mom when

28
00:02:13,249 --> 00:02:16,749
they're in womb by their mom, and
sometimes also through the milk.

29
00:02:16,839 --> 00:02:21,269
What are the typical signs of fatal
disseminated toxoplasmosis in cats?

30
00:02:21,870 --> 00:02:28,180
We should suspect it when a cat becomes
very ill, showing severe disease after

31
00:02:28,709 --> 00:02:33,500
exploring the cat and running the
blood test, or the imaging test that

32
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:38,960
we need to run, the disease mostly
appears focused on the respiratory tract

33
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,450
and liver, but also on the pancreas.

34
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,230
Other cats may present with
acute neurological disease.

35
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,029
This would be the other way of presenting,
but when it is acutely  disseminated,

36
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:54,160
usually it's not only the central
nervous system that is affected, but

37
00:02:54,170 --> 00:02:55,940
also the liver and respiratory tract.

38
00:02:57,660 --> 00:03:02,209
The clinical science may come across
as nonspecific, and on top of that,

39
00:03:02,230 --> 00:03:03,380
we have a rapid deterioration.

40
00:03:03,390 --> 00:03:05,390
So it's all quite challenging.

41
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:11,550
And also none very specific, but at the
same time a bit strange because you don't

42
00:03:11,579 --> 00:03:18,750
tend to see many cats with respiratory
and liver clinical signs and biochemical

43
00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:21,310
changes and it progresses really quick.

44
00:03:21,310 --> 00:03:26,219
So the first day you may think it's
pancreatitis, or maybe I just have

45
00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:30,390
a cat with some degree of pneumonia
and he's very ill because of the

46
00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:35,050
pneumonia, but then because of this
very rapid progression, then you see

47
00:03:35,050 --> 00:03:38,850
that the liver goes really worse or the
pancreatic disease will go really worse.

48
00:03:39,140 --> 00:03:43,460
But at the same time, you get all
those respiratory changes and that

49
00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:47,790
doesn't make much sense with either
liver or pancreatic disease by itself,

50
00:03:48,499 --> 00:03:52,850
not  being by an infectious disease,
so that makes you think about it more.

51
00:03:52,860 --> 00:03:57,089
I think we should think about it when it
goes quick and affects these two organs.

52
00:03:57,089 --> 00:04:02,540
If they have ocular signs or central
nervous system signs, that should put

53
00:04:02,540 --> 00:04:04,440
it from the differential list higher.

54
00:04:05,540 --> 00:04:06,989
It can be tricky, can't it?

55
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,749
How do you diagnose toxoplasmosis In cats?

56
00:04:12,950 --> 00:04:18,080
You need clinical signs compatible with
the disease for one thing, because you can

57
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:25,319
have many cats that have become exposed to
the toxoplasma because they ate that prey

58
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:31,549
or that raw meat that had the cysts there,
and then they contacted the parasite.

59
00:04:31,559 --> 00:04:35,030
It became disseminated and it
became dormant and nothing happened.

60
00:04:35,629 --> 00:04:39,270
But because the big contact, the
parasite, they will have produced

61
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:43,219
some sort of immune reaction to
it, and because many cats become

62
00:04:43,220 --> 00:04:49,109
exposed, you can have many cats being
positive to toxoplasma not  being ill.

63
00:04:49,109 --> 00:04:53,649
So you need to have compatible clinical
signs, or at least some sort of clinical

64
00:04:53,650 --> 00:04:59,040
sign that you could put into toxoplasmas
list of things that can cause, and then

65
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,510
you need to prove the parasite is there.

66
00:05:01,859 --> 00:05:04,460
You can prove it with serology sometimes.

67
00:05:05,630 --> 00:05:09,700
With serology, you can do, you run
immunoglobulins and you need to run

68
00:05:09,749 --> 00:05:15,919
IgGs and IgMs and you need to run both
of them because IgGs will only show

69
00:05:15,929 --> 00:05:17,674
that the cat has been exposed to it.

70
00:05:17,849 --> 00:05:21,229
So you can have a very high titre
in a completely healthy cat.

71
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:25,030
Pregnant women can have the
toxoplasma test and be healthy.

72
00:05:26,030 --> 00:05:30,780
Or it can be negative if it's been
a recent exposure, but, and then you

73
00:05:30,780 --> 00:05:35,284
need to run the IgMs, and the IgM,
it will show recent exposure and it

74
00:05:35,479 --> 00:05:37,239
will indicate an active infection.

75
00:05:37,729 --> 00:05:43,719
So, if your IgM titre is positive and is
above 164, then that means that cat was

76
00:05:43,719 --> 00:05:46,189
exposed, recently exposed to toxoplasma.

77
00:05:46,190 --> 00:05:51,060
So if you get that  positive titre
and he shows clinical signs compatible

78
00:05:51,060 --> 00:05:55,820
with it, that could mean it does
have toxoplasma, but you could also

79
00:05:55,820 --> 00:05:59,030
have a healthy cat with a positive
IgM just because he was recently

80
00:05:59,030 --> 00:06:00,859
exposed, and it would only mean that.

81
00:06:00,859 --> 00:06:05,369
So as with all diseases, we only
need to look when we have clinical

82
00:06:05,369 --> 00:06:06,920
signs compatible with the disease.

83
00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:13,080
And if you find some lesion or some
area where you think it's focused,

84
00:06:13,239 --> 00:06:16,300
your disease, for instance, in our
case it was the lung and the liver,

85
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:21,229
but you could have skin nodules, or
you could have cholecystitis and a

86
00:06:21,650 --> 00:06:26,109
bile infection, enlarged abdominal
lymph node, pneumonia, you could do

87
00:06:26,109 --> 00:06:27,769
a bronchoalveolar lavage as well.

88
00:06:28,299 --> 00:06:32,540
When you have localised where your
problem is, if it's a place where you

89
00:06:32,540 --> 00:06:37,659
could take a sample with a fine needle
aspirate or with pathology, you could

90
00:06:37,659 --> 00:06:42,960
run a PCR and if it was positive, that
would show that the parasite it is there.

91
00:06:47,139 --> 00:06:50,780
And now Dr Kelly St Denis will
be interviewing Dr Banovic

92
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,500
about his JFMS article on immune
mediated skin disease in cats.

93
00:06:56,030 --> 00:06:59,680
This is the first of two parts,
and you will be able to access the

94
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,589
second part of the interview in June.

95
00:07:03,099 --> 00:07:07,650
Today we are meeting with Dr
Frane Banovich, to discuss the

96
00:07:07,650 --> 00:07:10,590
clinical spotlight articles that
he's written for the Journal of

97
00:07:10,590 --> 00:07:14,789
Feline Medicine and Surgery, feline
Immune Mediated Skin Disorders.

98
00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:17,690
There are so many immune mediated
skin disorders in cats, that

99
00:07:17,690 --> 00:07:20,769
we decided to break it into two
different clinical spotlight articles.

100
00:07:20,799 --> 00:07:24,539
From a general perspective, Dr Banovic,
I was wondering if you could just

101
00:07:24,539 --> 00:07:28,020
discuss with us like how common are
immune mediated diseases in cats?

102
00:07:29,190 --> 00:07:30,120
Very good question.

103
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:36,140
So in general rule, there is always debate
about using terminology of autoimmune

104
00:07:36,619 --> 00:07:39,849
and immune mediated as disease processes.

105
00:07:40,349 --> 00:07:44,370
In general sense, we prefer to use
autoimmune when we can really show

106
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:49,580
that there is a direct immune response
against its own tissue, against its own

107
00:07:49,590 --> 00:07:53,359
antigen, which we would call auto antigen.

108
00:07:53,359 --> 00:07:57,739
Unfortunately, in veterinary
diseases or veterinary medicine,

109
00:07:57,749 --> 00:08:01,189
the advancements of techniques
generally lacks the human field.

110
00:08:01,489 --> 00:08:05,719
So in many instances we have a high
suspicion that there is an auto antigen,

111
00:08:06,059 --> 00:08:11,819
but we generally lack techniques or
studies to prove that so many times

112
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:16,369
the, we like to use the terminology
immune mediated diseases, which shows

113
00:08:16,369 --> 00:08:18,579
that there is an inflammatory process.

114
00:08:18,770 --> 00:08:24,109
Highly likely it's autoimmune in many of
these cases, but unfortunately, due to the

115
00:08:24,109 --> 00:08:28,219
lack of studies, we cannot really come and
say, oh, this is an autoimmune disease.

116
00:08:28,260 --> 00:08:32,799
We show that this is an auto antigen,
and if you look at the dogs and cats,

117
00:08:33,020 --> 00:08:36,609
we have far more evidence in dogs
than we would have in cats because

118
00:08:36,620 --> 00:08:40,689
in general sense, I would also say
as a clinician scientist, we tend to

119
00:08:40,689 --> 00:08:43,380
research less cats than we do dogs.

120
00:08:44,270 --> 00:08:44,839
That's so true.

121
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,509
And also, to be honest, I would also say
that it's not as easy to collect samples

122
00:08:49,510 --> 00:08:53,500
from cats as it is from dogs, which
also contributes to the problem I think.

123
00:08:54,050 --> 00:08:58,730
Now, regarding these diseases, how
common they are,  it's a very good point.

124
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,630
I would say that in my clinic, the most
common disease we tend to see is some kind

125
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:08,100
of an allergic dermatitis disease, whether
that's a feline atopic skin syndrome

126
00:09:08,110 --> 00:09:10,940
or atopic skin syndrome due to food.

127
00:09:11,249 --> 00:09:12,569
I would say that's rare.

128
00:09:12,790 --> 00:09:17,699
And then we do see these weird
immune mediated diseases come

129
00:09:17,699 --> 00:09:19,740
to us on a regular basis.

130
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:24,229
Some of them come through ER because
the cats have undiagnosed pemphigus

131
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,850
that is not an allergic skin
disease, but gets treated like that.

132
00:09:27,850 --> 00:09:31,390
And then they unfortunately come
through emergency service because

133
00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:32,960
the patient is not doing well.

134
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,650
Some diseases are not that dramatic
and it's just a foot pad and

135
00:09:37,650 --> 00:09:40,910
therefore can wait a month or
two months to get a referral in.

136
00:09:41,329 --> 00:09:42,749
So it just depends on a patient.

137
00:09:42,780 --> 00:09:43,550
But do we see them?

138
00:09:43,589 --> 00:09:44,169
Absolutely.

139
00:09:44,169 --> 00:09:44,579
Yes.

140
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:48,770
As a matter of fact, to give you a fun
story, one of my PhD students last week

141
00:09:48,770 --> 00:09:54,540
emailed me foot pad lesions from her
roommate's cat, and the cat has a, what

142
00:09:54,540 --> 00:09:55,770
we would call plasma cell pododermatitis.

143
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,759
It's in, in the part  two, but
classic example of it, all four

144
00:10:02,060 --> 00:10:04,239
feet, all four central pads.

145
00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:08,700
And of course, so they do, they are
there, but maybe they are not diagnosed.

146
00:10:08,750 --> 00:10:12,179
Maybe sometimes they're, there's
not such morbidity that people

147
00:10:12,319 --> 00:10:15,990
are gonna investigate more in
depth and multiple factors.

148
00:10:16,510 --> 00:10:16,880
Yeah.

149
00:10:17,170 --> 00:10:17,250
Yeah.

150
00:10:17,379 --> 00:10:20,420
And so as clinicians, like someone
for myself in general practice,

151
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:24,389
obviously there's some pretty classic
things that we may see that say immune

152
00:10:24,389 --> 00:10:28,280
mediated derma dermatologic issues
or autoimmune dermatologic issues.

153
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,280
But when I'm looking at a cat with
skin disease, would you say there's

154
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,820
a short list of things you would
say, we should put that autoimmune

155
00:10:35,820 --> 00:10:39,209
disease on our differential list
as soon as possible, or right away?

156
00:10:39,790 --> 00:10:42,380
There are some clues like in the paper.

157
00:10:42,380 --> 00:10:46,850
That is the reason why we decided
to go into the paper project because

158
00:10:46,860 --> 00:10:51,680
some diseases definitely have a very
relatively unique clinical phenotype.

159
00:10:52,199 --> 00:10:56,309
So, for  pemphigus that would be, for
instance, there are not many diseases

160
00:10:56,470 --> 00:11:01,349
that will cause very  uniquely the
nail fold production of puss in there

161
00:11:01,510 --> 00:11:05,990
and when you squeeze the nail folds
out, you basically see pus coming out.

162
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,800
That's very unique for pemphigus
foliaceus in cats, there are not

163
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:11,559
many differentials that will do that.

164
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:14,239
Same thing with, for instance,
plasma cell pododermatitis.

165
00:11:15,850 --> 00:11:19,620
Very unique to affect the central foot
pads of multiple legs, so there are

166
00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:21,449
not many diseases that will do that.

167
00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:24,989
So they do have some uniqueness sometimes.

168
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,909
It may be a little bit tricky, but if
the patient is not responding after

169
00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:33,979
multiple weeks of treatment, whatever
the clinician thinks, it is advisable

170
00:11:34,020 --> 00:11:38,460
to obtain good quality images and
consult with a veterinary dermatologist.

171
00:11:38,839 --> 00:11:42,070
I was wondering about diagnosis because
this is something that with Pemphigus,

172
00:11:42,170 --> 00:11:43,035
they used to always tell us, and again,
I'm dating myself here in terms of

173
00:11:43,035 --> 00:11:44,980
when I graduated from vet college, but
it was always about waiting for the

174
00:11:44,980 --> 00:11:47,539
pustules and only biopsying pustules.

175
00:11:47,569 --> 00:11:51,520
But I really like in this article
that you guys discuss cytology that

176
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,819
can be done and it isn't always
just about sampling from pustules.

177
00:11:54,819 --> 00:11:57,360
And I wondered if you could tell
us a little bit about that from a

178
00:11:57,370 --> 00:11:59,239
practical perspective in clinic?

179
00:11:59,980 --> 00:12:00,580
Absolutely.

180
00:12:00,589 --> 00:12:04,749
So there is a little bit of debate even
among the dermatologists here, how we

181
00:12:04,749 --> 00:12:08,480
should approach this  largely because we
are dermatologists, so we just see the

182
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:14,240
skin cases and for us to diagnose our cat
with pemphigus is to some point, if we see

183
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,710
these cases all the time, relatively easy.

184
00:12:17,199 --> 00:12:20,560
The problem becomes is that we have
to provide advice to clinicians who

185
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:24,439
are not dermatologists, that they
get to see all the organs and all

186
00:12:24,439 --> 00:12:26,459
the diseases associated with that.

187
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:31,530
So in these instances, we are always
troubled how to make a recommendation.

188
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:32,610
Why do I say this?

189
00:12:32,610 --> 00:12:36,760
We utilise skin cytology a lot to
diagnose pemphigus because we can see

190
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,079
the Acantholytic keratinocytes, which are
very unique for the disease and with the

191
00:12:41,079 --> 00:12:46,030
clinical presentation of the nasal bridge
and the ear pinna and the nail fold.

192
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,030
We generally don't tend to see
many differentials for that, such

193
00:12:50,030 --> 00:12:53,239
as potentially like a pyoderma
staph [ylococcus] infections with

194
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,769
exfoliative toxins that can also
cause Acantholytic keratinocytes.

195
00:12:57,999 --> 00:13:00,720
We rarely see that presentation
of pyoderma in cats.

196
00:13:01,199 --> 00:13:04,319
So therefore, when we see a patient
like that, and if you do a cytology

197
00:13:04,319 --> 00:13:08,099
and we can see this  Acantholytic
keratinocytes surrounded by neutrophils,

198
00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:14,439
we are very much probably, I would say
above 99% certain that we are dealing

199
00:13:14,449 --> 00:13:16,319
with pemphigus foliaceus in a cat.

200
00:13:16,740 --> 00:13:20,839
Now, ideally we would go ahead
and biopsy that, but then it

201
00:13:20,839 --> 00:13:22,300
depends where the lesions are.

202
00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:25,750
And for instance, some lesions,
some cats with pemphigus uniquely

203
00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:27,800
have only lesions in the nail fold.

204
00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:30,010
So there are different
phenotypes of the disease.

205
00:13:30,020 --> 00:13:31,480
Not everyone is generalised.

206
00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:35,609
So in that case, you will have to
remove the whole toe and that's

207
00:13:35,609 --> 00:13:37,079
where it gets a bit tricky.

208
00:13:37,319 --> 00:13:42,269
I would say that the vast majority of
us tends to then call the Pemphigus

209
00:13:42,589 --> 00:13:46,070
based on a clinical presentation,
history and cytology findings.

210
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,000
Of course, if we can, we
will go ahead and do biopsy.

211
00:13:49,270 --> 00:13:53,969
Now we are dermatologists, so for us,
this is what we do every day of the month.

212
00:13:53,999 --> 00:13:59,289
Now, if we take someone who sees this
rarely as a private practitioner,

213
00:13:59,589 --> 00:14:04,770
they may lean more towards biopsy to
make sure that we get what we need.

214
00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:09,939
Yes, ideally  we would sample pustules,
but they are relatively short lived on

215
00:14:09,939 --> 00:14:14,509
the patient's dogs and cats predominantly
because of the rather thinner

216
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:16,420
epidermis, so they don't tend to stay.

217
00:14:16,420 --> 00:14:19,180
So what you end up
having is usually crusts.

218
00:14:19,890 --> 00:14:23,240
Now, if you see some erythema
beneath, it tells you that probably

219
00:14:23,250 --> 00:14:24,800
it's still an active process.

220
00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:29,989
So we tend to go and try to get
those most recent lesions that

221
00:14:29,999 --> 00:14:33,400
the owner can remember and that we
see that there is still erythema.

222
00:14:33,809 --> 00:14:36,939
If the crust has no erythema
and you can just pull it off,

223
00:14:36,970 --> 00:14:39,190
then likely it's already gone.

224
00:14:39,459 --> 00:14:42,310
What we never wanna do
is scrub the crusts away.

225
00:14:42,319 --> 00:14:46,380
So we always wanna submit the crust
because the are acantholytic keratinocytes

226
00:14:46,380 --> 00:14:48,249
are usually embedded in them.

227
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,160
If you do any surgical scrubbing,
you will lose that diagnostic sample

228
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,990
and your biopsy will come back as
inconclusive, meaning they don't know

229
00:14:57,990 --> 00:15:01,569
what, it's an inflammatory process, but
they don't know exactly what's going on.

230
00:15:02,350 --> 00:15:05,009
And that's one of the key things that
again, are pointed out in a box out

231
00:15:05,010 --> 00:15:09,980
in your article  about taking biopsies
and not prepping the skin or shaving

232
00:15:09,980 --> 00:15:13,350
or anything because you're taking away
a lot of that diagnostic information.

233
00:15:13,380 --> 00:15:17,099
You rarely will ever need to scrub
the skin, exceptionally rarely.

234
00:15:17,370 --> 00:15:21,069
So I would rather not to do
that on, on any patient unless

235
00:15:21,069 --> 00:15:24,220
you want lose your diagnostics
and the biopsies are expensive.

236
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,050
You need a heavier sedation
for a cat than a dog.

237
00:15:28,370 --> 00:15:31,810
Therefore, you do not wanna repeat
these processes multiple times.

238
00:15:31,819 --> 00:15:35,490
So it's better when you do it that
you do it the best way you can.

239
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,060
