Summary<\/span>
This report deals with a case of cutaneous toxoplasmosis in a 2 year-old female Angora cat. Cutaneous lesions were characterized by prescapular ulcers and hyperemic nodules in the skin of the inguinal and dorsosacral regions. A skin biopsy sample was collected from the lesioned area and processed for histopathologic examination and immunoperoxidase test using Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum specific antibodies. Toxoplasma gondii immunopositive reactions were detected in keratinocytes and dermal macrophages while no immunoreactivity was detected for N. caninum. The case of cutaneous toxoplasmosis was further confirmed by PCR analysis using T. gondii B1 gene-specific primers. In conclusion, we report the first case of cutaneous toxoplasmosis in Angora cats.

Es wird \u00fcber den Fall einer kutanen Toxoplasmose bei einer 2-j\u00e4hrigen, weiblichen Angora Katze berichtet. Die kutanen L\u00e4sionen waren charakterisiert durch suprascapul\u00e4re Ulzera und hyper\u00e4mische Nodula der Hautin den inguinalen sowie dorsosakralen K\u00f6rperbereichen. Ein Hautbioptat einer L\u00e4sion wurde f\u00fcr histopathologische Untersuchungen und f\u00fcr Immunperoxidase-Tests mit Toxoplasma gondii- und Neospora-caninum-spezifischen Antik\u00f6rpern entnommen. Immunpositive Reaktionen auf Toxoplasma gondii wurden in Keratinozyten sowie in dermalen Makrophagen festgestellt. Die Untersuchung auf Neospora caninum ergab keine immunopositiven Reaktionen. Der Fall von kutaner Toxoplasmose wurde weiterhin durch eine PCR mit T. Gondii B1-Gen spezifischen Primern best\u00e4tigt. Der vorgestellte Fall stellt den ersten Bericht \u00fcber die kutane Toxoplasmose bei einer Angora Katze dar.
