Disseminated aspergillosis in a dog.
A dog with disseminated Aspergillus terreus infection died after a protracted course of hospitalization. Treatment with amphotericin B methyl ester was without effect. The causative organism was found in bone, myocardium, spleen, kidneys, liver, thymus, lymph nodes, and both eyes. Treatment with antimicrobials and corticosteroids prior to hospitalization may have contributed to dissemination of the fungus.
