Abstract
A dog and a cat presented with pyogranulomatous mycotic pododermatitis. Panfungal PCR and next-generation sequencing identified Paraconiothyrium cyclothyrioides with 100% identity. Paraconiothyrium cyclothyrioides can rarely cause cutaneous infection and systemic disease in immunocompromised humans. This is the first report of infections in domestic animal species.
