Scope note: Dermatitis aguda generalizada de cerdos que aparece entre los 5 y 35 días de edad. Se caracteriza por tener un comienzo brusco, con morbilidad de 10 a 90 por ciento y mortalidad de 5 a 90 por ciento. Las lesiones se originan por el Staphylococcus hyos pero el agente bacteriano es incapaz de penetrar en la piel intacta. La abrasiones en pies y piernas o las laceraciones en el cuerpo preceden con frecuencia a la infección. En casos agudos, un virus del tipo vesicular puede ser el factor predisponente. El organismo causal es inhibido por la mayoría de los antibióticos.

Scope note: An acute generalized dermatitis of pigs which occurs from 5 to 35 days of age, characterized by sudden onset, with morbidity of 10 to 90% and mortality of 5 to 90%. The lesions are caused by Staphylococcus hyos but the bacterial agent is unable to penetrate the intact skin. Abrasions on the feet and legs or lacerations on the body frequently precede infection. In acute cases, a vesicular-type virus may be the predisposing factor. The causative organism is inhibited by most antibiotics. (Merck Veterinary Manual, 5th ed)
