0.04 sec.

a disease of human skin mirrored closely by a lesion in Greyhounds from which pure cultures of Staphylococcus aureus can be isolated. The lesions commence as large, thin-walled bullae along the dorsum of the neck and trunk which cause erection of a patch of hair. Rupture of the bullae leads to loss of hair and scab formation. See also sore.
