pubmed:abstractText
We describe here a disease related to mite-associated ulcerative dermatitis in BALB/c mice, a strain previously classified as resistant to this condition. The disease was recognized by pruritic cutaneous pathology and wasting. Pathologic studies showed a marked allergic-type inflammation in the skin. The dominant histologic feature was extensive mast cell infiltration in cutaneous lesions and in lymphoid tissues, associated with a greatly elevated serum IgE concentration. The disease was secondary to infestation with an acarian ectoparasite Myocoptes musculinus, and seemed to represent an allergic reaction to the parasite-derived substances, with an associated wasting syndrome. This condition may be a useful experimental model for allergic diseases.
