Imaging characteristics of disseminated Geosmithia argillacea causing severe diskospondylitis and meningoencephalomyelitis in a dog

A 4-year-old male castrated Labrador Retriever presented for severe spinal pain. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging showed evidence of diskospondylitis and meningoencephalomyelitis. Blood culture revealed a Geosmithia argillacea fungal infection after DNA sequencing, initially misdiagnosed a...

description A 4-year-old male castrated Labrador Retriever presented for severe spinal pain. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging showed evidence of diskospondylitis and meningoencephalomyelitis. Blood culture revealed a Geosmithia argillacea fungal infection after DNA sequencing, initially misdiagnosed as Penicillium species. Geosmithia argillacea should be considered as a differential for disseminated fungal diskospondylitis.
