description | OBJECTIVE: Describe the diagnosis, clinical course, and management of a dog with systemic Mycoleptodiscus indicus infection. CASE SUMMARY: A 5‐year‐old male neutered Giant Schnauzer presented with left eye anterior uveitis, peripheral lymphadenopathy, hyperglobulinemia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. A diagnosis of M. indicus infection was made based on histopathology and PCR. Treatment with itraconazole and terbinafine resulted in resolution of the hyperglobulinemia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and peripheral lymphadenopathy. No evidence of fungal organisms was identified on lymph node, liver, or ocular histopathology after 7 months of treatment. NEW OR UNIQUE INFORMATION PROVIDED: This case is the first report of a systemic M. indicus infection in an apparently immunocompetent dog. Clinical resolution was achieved with systemic itraconazole and terbinafine. |
