Three years previously, this horse wasdiagnosed with acute septic hepatocholangitis based onphysical, bacteriologic, biochemical, and histopathologicfindings.Streptococcus viridans was isolated from the liverbiopsy samples. Treatment included intravenous fluids, B vi-tamins, and antibiotics. The horse recovered and had normalblood chemistry and complete blood counts within 5 monthsof this episode. After recovery, the horse developed inter-mittent dermal photosensitization involving the lightly pig-mented skin of the distal hind limbs.Current physical examination findings included mild de-pression, lethargy, patchy alopecia and scaling, abdominaldistention, generalized muscle atrophy, and poor body con-dition. There were bilaterally symmetrical 10 3 5 3 1-cmraised swellings in the subcutaneous tissue of the prepuce.Serum biochemical analysis revealed hyperproteinemia (8.8g/dl). The horse had a leukocytosis (20.1 3 10 |
