Abstract
The concepts of a threshold for pruritus and a threshold for canine atopic dermatitis (AD) are useful in the understanding of the development of clini cal manifestations of this disease. Multiple flare factors, such as infecti ons with bacteria and yeasts, can contribute to the severity of clinical si gns in affected patients. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserve d.
