Abstract
Dogs with chronic or recurrent dermatitides, caused by mycosis or demo dicosis, had markedly reduced serum concentrations of IgA in compariso n with healthy control-dogs. In most cases the IgA-deficiency was asso ciated with a significant decrease of chemotactic and phagocytic capac ities of the polymorphonuclear granulocytes of the affected dogs.
