Abstrakt
Atoopiline dermatiit ehk nahapõletik on ägenemiste ja vaibumistega kulgev krooniline
haigus, mille korral organismil tekib ülitundlikkusreaktsioon keskkonnas leiduvate
allergeenide suhtes. Enimlevinud allergeenid, mis võivad koertel tekitada allergilist
reaktsiooni, on näiteks kodutolm, tolmulestad, õietolm, hallitusseened ning inimeste ja
loomade kõõm. Atoopilise dermatiidi patogenees pole tänaseni veel täielikult mõistetav,
kuid geneetiline vastuvõtlikkus mängib olulist rolli haiguse kujunemisel. Käesoleva uuringu
peamine eesmärk oli kirjeldada ja võrrelda atoopilise dermatiidi esinemust erinevatel
koeratõugudel Eesti Maaülikooli väikeloomakliinikut külastanud koerte seas. Samuti
võrreldi haiguse esinemust isaste ja emaste koerte vahel. Kokku külastas kliinikut uuritaval
perioodil (01.01.2019–30.03.2024) 12 141 koera, kellest 224 olid atoopilise dermatiidi
lõpliku diagnoosiga. Andmete töötlemiseks ja statistiliseks analüüsiks kasutati Microsoft
Excelit. Uuringu tulemusena selgus, et atoopilise dermatiidi levimus kõikide kliinikut
külastanud koerte seas oli 1,9%. Kliiniku andmebaasis registreeriti kokku 248 erinevast
tõust koera, kellest 59-l oli diagnoositud atoopiline dermatiit. Kõige enam oli kliinikut
külastanud koerte seas atoopilise dermatiidiga saksa lambakoeri, kellele järgnesid labradori
retriiver, prantsuse buldog, segaverelised koerad ja Jack Russelli terjer. Tõusiseselt oli
haiguse levik kõige kõrgem shibadel, järgnesid Jaapani akita, west-highlandi terjer, akita ja
romagna veekoer. Kuigi atoopilise dermatiidiga oli rohkem isaseid koeri, ei leitud soo ja
haiguse esinemise vahel statistilist olulisust. Uuringu piiranguteks võib pidada elektroonilise
andmebaasi iseärasusi ja uuringu valimi spetsiifilisust. Saadud tulemusi võisid mõjutada
pikad ooteajad dermatoloogide vastuvõtule ja suur kordusvisiitide hulk. Seetõttu ei saa
antud uuringu tulemusi üldistada kogu Eesti koerte populatsiooni atoopilise dermatiidi
esinemuse näitajaks.
Atopic dermatitis, or skin inflammation, is a chronic condition characterized by exacerbation and remissions of the disease, in which the body develops hypersensitivity reactions to allergens found in the environment. Common allergens triggering allergic reactions in dogs include household dust, dust mites, pollen, molds, and dander from humans and animals. The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis is not fully understood yet, but genetic predisposition plays a significant role in its development. The main aim of this study was to describe and compare the occurrence of atopic dermatitis among different dog breeds among dogs visiting the Small Animal Clinic of Estonian University of Life Sciences. The study also compared the occurrence of the disease between male and female dogs. During the study period (01.01.2019–30.03.2024), a total of 12,141 dogs visited the clinic, of which 224 were diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. Microsoft Excel was used for data processing and statistical analysis. The study revealed a prevalence of atopic dermatitis of 1.9% among all dogs visiting the clinic. In the clinic database, 248 different breeds of dogs were registered, with 59 breeds diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. German Shepherds were the most common breed with atopic dermatitis among clinic visitors, followed by Labrador Retrievers, French Bulldogs, mixed-breed dogs, and Jack Russell Terriers. The prevalence of the disease within the breed was the highest in Shibas, followed by Japanese Akitas, West Highland White Terriers, Akitas, and Romagna Water Dogs. There were more male dogs with atopic dermatitis, but no statistical significance was found between gender and the occurrence of the disease. Limitations of the study include the peculiarities of the electronic database and the specificity of the study sample. The obtained results may have been influenced by long waiting times for dermatologist appointments and a high number of follow-up visits. The results of this study cannot be generalized as an indicator of the occurrence of atopic dermatitis in the entire population of dogs in Estonia.
