Feline Herpesvirus-1 as This recurrence may present as a striking eosinophilic dermatitis
of the face and/or nasal planum (occasionally on the extremities)

for allergic eosinophilic dermatitis or eosinophilic granuloma complex. While the literature indicates pruritus may be moderate

Histopathology of biopsy specimens reveals a necrotizing
eosinophilic dermatitis. Intranuclear viral inclusions may not
be present or may be easily missed by the histopathologist.
Both PCR and immunohistochemical techniques have been
investigated and validated as screening tools for herpetic dermatitis (Hargis et al., 1999, Persico et al., 2011). However, the discovery of the safe and effective use of the human antiviral, Famciclovir, has revolutionized our ability to both diagnose and treat this disease (Thomasy et al., 2006, Malik et al., 2009, Thomasy et al., 2011). The author recommends a 2 to 3 week empirical course of Famciclovir as a diagnostic rule out in cases of feline facial dermatitis and pruritus where herpes may be suspected (125 mg PO BID). In the author’s experience, response is noted in many cases of nebulous feline facial excoriation and dermatitis that were previously misdiagnosed as allergic in etiology and treated unsuccessfully with steroids and/or cyclosporine. The veterinary practitioner should be mindful of this insidious differential diagnosis when confronted with refractory feline facial dermatitis cases. REFERENCES Figure 1.
