Disseminated Aspergillus citrinoterreus and concurrent localized dermal phaeohyphomycosis in an immunosuppressed dog

We report on a dog with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) treated with immunomodulatory therapy that developed phaeohyphomycosis andAspergillus citrinoterreus infections. This is the first reported case ofA. citrinoterreus in dogs. It details cytological and microbiological findings leading to diagnosis and highlights the importance of investigating new lesions in immunocompromised patients.AbstractA 5-year-old Staffordshire terrier mix treated with immunosuppressive therapy for IMHA was diagnosed with concurrent disseminatedA. citrinoterreus and localizedCurvularia lunata infections. This case highlights the potential development of multiple concurrent opportunistic fungal infections and is the first reported case ofA. citrinoterreus infection in a dog.
