PMCID: PMC1476484  PMID: 11272460

Abstract

A castrated male shar-pei was presented for episodes of lethargy, swelling of the tarsal joints, and polydipsia with polyuria. Histological examination of biopsies from skin overlying the tarsi and direct immunoperoxidase immunohistochemical staining confirmed immune complex vasculitis, suggesting a role for immune complex deposition in the pathogenesis of shar-pei fever.
