    TLDR A cat in Brazil was found with a severe skin condition linked to feline AIDS.
    The document reports the first case of Feline Idiopathic Mural Folliculitis in Brazil, specifically a severe form known as degenerative mucinotic mural folliculitis, which is associated with the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). The diagnosis of this condition was made through biopsy and histopathological examination, with the presence of FIV confirmed by immunohistochemistry and immunoassay testing. The document also describes the clinical and histopathological findings of the case, although it does not specify the number of subjects involved, as this is a single case report.
