Bacterial and fungal dermatitis are the most common among skin diseases of dogs. Seborrheic dermatitis in dogs is frequently associated with Malassezia pachydermatis, which is a unipolar budding, normal commensal yeast of skin. More recently, interest in M. pachydermatis has increased with the recognition that the skin colonization of this yeast in pet carnivores constitutes a source of infection for susceptible humans and the public health importance of this organism cannot be undermined. Recent report have implicated both M. furfur and M. pachydermatis as causing a number of more invasive human infections, including intravascular catheter associated sepsis. Report on Ketoconazole as the best antifungal drug for the treatment of malassezia dermatitis in dogs are available from abroad. Latraconazole and terbinafine have been found effective in treating human fungal infections, but till date there is no report on the use of any antimycotic drug in the treatment of malassezia dermatitis in dogs in India. The present study is the first report on treatment of malassezia dermatitis in dogs in India.
