OBJECTIVE
To determine blood ionized calcium (iCa) and serum total calcium (tCa) concentrations in dogs with blastomycosis and to evaluate whether serum tCa concentration, albumin-adjusted serum calcium concentration (AdjCa-Alb), and total protein-adjusted serum calcium concentration (AdjCa-TP)
Immunologic evaluations were done on a total of 21 dogs presented with acute blastomycosis. There were significant increases in serum alpha 2-, beta-, and gamma-globulins with decreases in albumin concentration. Serum immunoglobulin G was significantly increased, while immunoglobulin M was
Counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIEP) with blastomyces and histoplasma antigens was used in a serologic study of 181 dogs clinically suspected of having blastomycosis and of 8 dogs with confirmed blastomycosis or histoplasmosis. Thirteen of the 181 dogs, positive by CIEP, were euthanatized, and the
A 9-year-old female, presented with recurrent bilaterally symmetrically distributed flesh colored vegetative plaques, papules and nodules on trunk and upper and lower extremities since 15 days. Investigations revealed anemia, hypoproteinemia, decreased albumin and positive D-xylose test. Pus swab
Itraconazole is a highly lipophilic triazolic compound, scarcely soluble in acidified polyethylene glycol, and soluble in hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin. It possesses an excellent digestive adsorption and its peak plasma level after oral administration of 100 mg is 0.16 microgram/ml at 3 or 4 h
Ketoconazole is a well-tolerated oral antifungal agent with a broad spectrum of activity in vitro, but in vitro testing has not yet been correlated to in vivo results. In addition, many variables that can alter in vitro test results have been identified. The drug shows effectiveness in the treatment
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) or South American Blastomycosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by a dimorphic fungus, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. It represents the most important systemic mycosis in South America and with higher prevalence among male inhabitants of the rural area. PCM usually
