| description | A two-year-old neutered male Coton de Tulear presented with lethargy, anorexia, and tachypnea. Cystic masses noticed at the cranial mediastinal region were diagnosed as granuloma containing hyphae of Aspergillus versicolor. Despite antifungal treatment using itraconazole, fluconazole, and voriconazole, the lesions spread to the lung. After euthanasia, Schizophyllum commune was identified in the lung and splenic lymph node. This is the first case of fungal infection caused by A. versicolor and S. commune in a dog. |
