Pitted Keratolysis in an Olive Baboon (<i>Papio anubis</i>)
Pitted keratolysis, a dermatologic condition in humans, was diagnosed in an olive baboon (Papio anubis) via biopsy and responded well to topical treatment. In humans, pitted keratolysis is caused by the overgrowth of keratinolytic bacteria within the stratum corneum. This represents the first reported case in a nonhuman primate.
