Abstract
A case of disseminated paecilomycosis in a three-year-old vizsla is described. Clinical signs of lethargy, weight loss, lymphadenopathy, diarrhea, and vestibulocochlear deficits were exhibited. Dense colonization of bone marrow by the fungus was found early in the disease course. Serial culture of bone-marrow aspirates and in vitro sensitivity testing helped monitor disease progression and guide antifungal therapy. Clinical and laboratory parameters demonstrated marked improvement for a period of 12 weeks. Multisystemic disease with central nervous system involvement was found at necropsy.
