| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> In this study, it was aimed to determine whether application
of ELISA and IDT to atopy suspected dogs give the
same results using same allergens. In addition, determination
of the most common allergens, dog breeds predisposed
to atopy, age and gender of atopic dogs was aimed in Turkey.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> IDT applied to the most common
allergens in the atopy suspected dogs according to the history
and clinical symptoms. The blood samples, which are
collected same dogs, determined level of asp IgE against the
same allergens by ELISA.<p>
<b>Results:</b> ELISA and IDT were performed on 30 dogs (18
male and 12 female, 8 months and 9 years old) with suspected
atopic dermatitis. Dermatophagoides farinae, Dermatophagoides
pteronyssimus, Tyrophagus spp. and Acarus
siro were most frequent in both tests, but male dogs (60%)
were more effected than the female dogs (40%). Boxer and
Terrier dogs were found to be predisposing to predilection
of atopic dermatitis. In generally age of the dogs with AD
ranged from 1 to 3 years old.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Similar results can be obtained from ELISA
and IDT, when the same allergens were used. But the severity
of the results may be different and more questionable
reaction can be observed with ELISA. |
