Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

An irritation index was not determined due to the corrosive effects observed.

An erythema could not be determined in all 3 animals because of the dark-brown discoloration of the treated skin areas after removal of the patches. The discoloured treated skin area was surrounded by a dark-red border in one animal.

An edema was observed in 1 animal approx. 2 cm around the treated skin area (grade 4). In the 2 other animals the treated skin area was surrounded by a moderate edema (grade 3).

24 hours after patch removal eschar formed in all 3 animals. The treated skin area showed deepenings of 1-2 mm. Animals were killed for animal welfare reasons.

Treated skin areas were exained microscopically. All 3 animals showed severe diffuse coagulation necrosis of the epidermis and the adjacent upper third to half of the corium. Furthermore animals showed demarcation of the necrotic skin parts by a small to medium sized zone of inflammatory cells, predominently neutrophilic granulocytes were found. In addition slight inflammatory cell infiltration, predominantly neutrophilic granulocytes, in the deeper corium, skin muscle and/or subcutic fatty tissue were observed.
