    Intradermal testing using extracts from Malassezia pachydermatis was conducted in 50 dogs with seborrheic dermatitis. Immediate reactions to M. pachydermatis antigen were observed in 17 (34.0%) of 50 dogs, and delayed reactions to it in 3 (9.4%) of 32 dogs. None of 10 control dogs showed any positive reaction to the antigen. Shampoo, either selenium disulfide or chlorhexidine, was effective in 19 (90.5%) of the 21 cases with negative reactions. In contrast, the same treatment was effective for only 3 (33.3%) of the 9 dogs with positive reactions. The remaining cases showed improvement with a systemic anti-yeast agent, ketconazole. This study indicates that M. pachydermatis may play a role as an allergen in some dogs with seborrheic dermatitis.

    Seven-year-old castrated mixed short-haired cat was presented with winter seasonal pinna alopecia. Autoagglutination test showed autohaemaglutination after refrigeration. Cryoprecipitation test of the serum and plasma showed precipitated materials after refrigeration, and these were dissolved after rewarming. The cat was diagnosed as having cryopathy associated with cold agglutinine, cryofibrinogen, and cryoglobulin. This cat was kept in warm room and treated with heparinoid agent unilaterally. Hair regrowth was observed on the treated pinna, and winter-seanonal pinna alopecia has been under control for 6 years.
