摘要：

About one million households in the United States currently have exotic pets, including, but not limited to, hedgehogs, flying squirrels, iguanas, chinchillas, and cockatoos. Health care providers are poorly informed concerning the potential hazards of exotic pet ownership. This article reviews the most important literature on this subject and highlights the necessity for obtaining an adequate history of exposure to unusual pets when confronted with certain skin or systemic signs and symptoms.
