Within this research 274 horses were observed, out of 15 herds in Vojvodina region (Serbia) with the aim to explore the etiology and pathogenesis of nodular dermatosis in horses. All the cases of skin lesions were found during one-year period, with the special emphasize on dermatosis of bacteriological etiology. All of the horses were clinically observed. Skin lesions were present in 43 out 274 examined horses, that makes 15.69%. From those 43 cases of skin lesions, the most of them were nodular dermatosis, in 26 horses (60.46%). From most of those nodular changes (32.55%) infective cause was not isolated, while in 27.90% of the cases bacteria were isolated. From nodular lesions, in 5 cases Staphylococcus aureus was isolated (11.62%), in 4 cases Staphylococcus intermedius (9.30%) and in 3 cases Steptococcus B haemolyticus which was 6.97% from all dermatosis. From the rest dermatosis, most of the cases were injuries (20.93%), than dermatophytosis (13.95%) and urticaria (4.65%). With correlative analysis the significant influence of nodular and other changes in skin on haematological values was not found.
