Abstract
in English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese

Erythema multiforme (EM), an uncommon immune-mediated skin disorder of cats, conceivably could be triggered by feline herpesvirus type-1 (FHV-1) infection, in a manner analogous to human herpesvirus-associated EM (HAEM). This report describes a 10-year-old Persian-mixed cat with a presumptive diagnosis of HAEM.

L’érythème polymorphe (EM), est une dermatose à médiation immune rare chez le chat, théoriquement déclenché par une infection FHV-1 (feline herpesvirus type-1), de la même façon que chez l’homme avec HAEM (human herpesvirus-associated EM). Cet article décrit un chat croisé Persan de 10 ans avec un diagnostic présumé de HAEM.

El eritema multiforme (EM), un trastorno cutáneo poco común mediado por el sistema inmunitario de los gatos que posiblemente podría desencadenarse por una infección por herpesvirus felino tipo 1 (FHV-1), de manera análoga a la EM asociada al herpesvirus humano (HAEM). Este informe describe un gato persa mixto de 10 años con un diagnóstico presuntivo de HAEM.

Es ist denkbar, dass Erythema multiforme (EM), eine seltene immun-mediierte Hauterkrankung bei Katzen, durch eine Infektion mit dem Felinen Herpesvirus Typ-1 (FHV-1) ausgelöst werden könnte, was sozusagen eine Analogie mit dem Herpesvirus-assoziierten EM des Menschen (HAEM) darstellt. Dieser Fallbericht beschreibt eine 10 Jahre alte Persermischlingskatze mit einer vermeintlichen Diagnose von HAEM.

猫の珍しい免疫介在性皮膚障害である多形性紅斑（EM）は、ヒトヘルペスウイルス関連EM（HAEM）に類似した方法で、ネコヘルペスウイルス1型（FHV-1）感染によって引き起こされる可能性がある。 本報告では、HAEMと推定診断された10歳のペルシャMIX猫について記述する。.

多形红斑(EM)是一种不常见的免疫介导性猫皮肤病, 可能由猫疱疹病毒1型(FHV-1)感染触发, 其方式与人类疱疹病毒相关EM(HAEM)相似。本报告描述了一只推定诊断为HAEM的10岁混血波斯猫。.

Eritema multiforme (EM), uma doença de pele imunomediada incomum em gatos, em teoria pode ser desencadeada por infecção por herpesvírus felino tipo 1 (FHV-1), de maneira análoga ao EM associado ao herpesvírus humano (EMAH). Este relato de caso descreve um gato persa de 10 anos de idade com diagnóstico presuntivo de EMAH.
