Plain-English summary
A female Labrador retriever from outside North America was diagnosed with a skin condition called proliferative lymphocytic infundibular mural folliculitis and dermatitis, which involves inflammation of the hair follicles and skin. This condition is characterized by the presence of rough, wart-like patches on the skin. The study also looked at how this condition was diagnosed and treated, as well as any other health issues that the dog might have had at the same time. This case is significant because it is the first report of this particular skin disease occurring outside of North America. The outcome of the treatment was not specified in the abstract.
