Disseminated Chrysosporium spp. infection was diagnosed in a German shepherd dog based on a positive fungal culture and cytological findings of intralesional fungi associated with granulomatous splenitis and neutrophilic lymphadenitis. The clinical presentation that could mimic a multicentric lymphoma, including markedly enlarged lymph nodes and a very abnormal splenic appearance on ultrasound makes this case even more atypical. The patient showed rapid clinical improvement on oral posaconazole and remains clinically stable ten months after diagnosis.
一只德国牧羊犬被诊断为播散性金孢子菌属感染,诊断依据为真菌培养阳性以及病变内真菌的细胞学检查结果,伴有肉芽肿性脾炎和嗜中性粒细胞性淋巴结炎。临床表现可能类似多中心淋巴瘤,包括淋巴结明显肿大以及超声检查显示脾脏外观异常,这使得该病例更加不典型。该患者口服泊沙康唑后临床症状迅速改善,确诊十个月后仍保持临床稳定。
