Trichogram/Pennogram

LABOKLIN Service ID: 2109

In skin patients, a trichogram serves as an additional method for diagnostic assessment. It cannot replace histology, bacteriological, mycological and parasitological examinations, cytology and other tests, such as the determination of clinical-chemical parameters or hormone assays, but it can provide very valuable information.
Trichograms are particularly suitable in the diagnosis of cats with hair loss that have no apparent itching and for which alopecia sine causa is already clinically suspected. A trichogram can also provide valuable diagnostic information in case of colour mutant alopecia.
