====[[Bacterial Granulomatous Dermatitis]]====
 
 
 
*Usually due to saprophytes
 
*Grossly:
 
**Diffuse or nodular lesions
 
**May ulcerate and form drainage fistulas
 
*Microscopically:
 
**Macrophages +/- multinucleated giant cells
 
**[[Necrosis - Pathology#Caseation Necrosis|Caseous necrosis]] and [[Neutrophils|neutrophils]]
 
*'''Mycobacterial granulomatous or pyogranulomatous lesions'''
 
**Usually caused by ''[[Mycobacterium lepraemurium]]'' (feline leprosy) or other ''Mycobacteria''
 
**Most commonly lesions appear on head, neck and legs

*[[Salmonella|'''Salmonellosis''']]
 
**Capillary dilatation and congestion -> cyanosis of external ears and abdoman

**Caused by [[Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae|''Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae'']]
 
**Vasculitis, thrombosis, ischaemia -> cutaneous lesions - firm, raises, rhomboidal pink to dark purple areas
 
*[[Clostridium novyi|''Clostridium novyi'']]
 
**Severe cellulitis, toxaemia and death of young rams during breeding season (due to traumatised heads) - 'big head'
