This training is the best option you can find to specialize in Dermatology in Small Animals and make more accurate diagnoses”

The clinical presentations of Immune-Mediated and Autoimmune Dermatoses are very heterogeneous, sometimes with acute pustular, erosive or ulcerative lesions, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as hyperthermia or anorexia. This conditions and limits our time frame for action, making it necessary to initiate an orderly and focused diagnostic protocol from the beginning in order to establish an adequate treatment as quickly as possible. 

Determining whether our patient has an Immune-Mediated and Autoimmune Dermatoses requires a detailed anamnesis, a thorough general and dermatologic examination, diagnostic methods of immediate interpretation, such as cytologic studies, and delayed interpretation, such as histopathologic or laboratory studies.
