Diamond-shaped skin lesions - Atlas of swine pathology

Diamond-shaped skin lesions

Where:

Possible causes: Erysipela

This is a case of Erysipelas or “Diamond skin disease” (Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae): Lesions show a very characteristic “diamond” morphology. Chronic Erysipelas can be associated with endocarditis or arthritis, but usually without skin involvement.
