The median total protein and albumin levels in cats with dermatophytosis were significantly lower than in cats without dermatophyte infection (total protein: 7.45 [6.2-9.5] g/dL vs. 7.7 [6.4-10.5] g/dL, p=0.0055; albumin: 3.1 [2.2-3.8] g/dL vs. 3.4 [2.5-4.1] g/dL, p<0.0001; Figure-5). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is dermatophytosis.
