Rhinitis and sinusitis involving Aspergillus fumigatus in a dog

Abstract

Extract

Fungi of the genus Aspergillus are ubiquitous, but their involvement in clinical disease in man and other mammals is relatively uncommon. When involved in a disease process they are generally considered to be a secondary complicating factor to other underlying local or systemic conditions (Zimmerman, 1955; Smith, 1962; Cordes and Shortridge, 1968; Kilman et al, 1969; McCausland, 1972).
