Zusammenfassung: | Scedosporium apiospermum is a saprophytic filamentous fungus that is pathogenic to dogs. This report describes a case of S. apiospermum infection that caused multiple large peritoneal fungal granulomas in a dog with a history of jejunojejunostomy. The lesions were firmly attached to multiple organs and could not be surgically removed. In such cases, no precedent for the response to the treatment of this disease exists, and all affected dogs have died. This is the first report of an effective medical treatment for multiple intra-abdominal fungal granulomas using voriconazole. |
