In neither one of the cases the anomaly was detected in the antemortem examination , no alterations were detected in the other viscera of animals.

It has been attributed to infections with Staphylococcus hyicus<\/em> often over-infected with streptococci or spirochetes (sometimes all of it secondary to immunosuppression situations – for example at the time of the highest prevalence of PMWS, \u00a0it was very frequently observed) or Mycoplasma suis.<\/em> Moreover, it has been said that there are environmental-behavioral factors that predispose to ear-tip necrosis such as cannibalism, high concentration of ammonia, poor hygiene, mycotoxins, etc.<\/p>\n Case 1<\/strong>: Slight reddening of the skin and crateriformes lesions with a linear distribution throughout the carcass.<\/p><\/div>\n Case 1<\/strong>: Detail of the crateriform lesions.<\/p><\/div>\n Case 2<\/strong>: crateriform lesions with crusty debris.<\/p><\/div>\n Case 2<\/strong>: crateriform lesions also affect the skin of the extremities.<\/p><\/div>\n Case 2<\/strong>: This case also had necrosis of the tail and ears.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this post we discussed the possible etiologies of skin lesions crateriformes observed in two pig carcasses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":7197,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[179,225],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-porcine-2","category-skin-porcine-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sesc.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sesc.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sesc.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sesc.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sesc.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sesc.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sesc.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sesc.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sesc.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sesc.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nThese lesions are compatible with sequelae of a crusty dermatitis<\/strong> among which on could include: pox, ptiriasis rosea, exudative epidermitis … The possibility of actinic dermatitis sequelae (exposure to sunlight) was also considered. The problem in these cases is that the skin samples, once it has gone through the process of blanching, \u00a0are artefactuated <\/a>and do not allow a proper histopathologic diagnosis.<\/p>\n![\"Case](\"https:\/\/sesc.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Pells-escaldat.jpg\")
