Original publication title: Primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis in a dog and a cat.
Plain-English summary
A dog and a cat were brought to the vet due to swollen lymph nodes and skin wounds. They were diagnosed with a skin infection called primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis, which is generally mild and tends to resolve on its own. The vet used specific tests to confirm the diagnosis and differentiate it from more serious forms of the infection. Both pets were monitored, and their conditions improved without the need for aggressive treatment.

Abstract
Primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis was diagnosed in a dog and a cat examined because of lymphangitis and lymphadenitis associated with skin wounds. This benign and self-limiting form of disease was distinguished from the skin lesions associated with systemic coccidioidomycosis by means of historic, physical, and serologic criteria established in human medicine.
