Central nervous system blastomycosis in a dog

Abstract
in English, French

An adult golden retriever was presented for progressive neurologic dysfunction. Clinical examination suggested brainstem disease. Blastomycosis was diagnosed based on fine-needle aspiration cytology of a normal sized lymph node and a positive blastomycosis urine antigen test. Systemic blastomycosis with neurologic involvement was confirmed at necropsy.

Blastomycose du système nerveux central chez un chien. Un Labrador retriever adulte a été présenté pour un dysfonctionnement neurologique progressif. Un examen clinique a suggéré une maladie du tronc cérébral. La blastomycose a été diagnostiquée à l’aide d’une cytologie par aspiration à l’aiguille d’un ganglion lymphatique de taille normale et une analyse urinaire positive pour la présence de l’ antigène de la blastomycose. La blastomycose systémique avec affection neurologique a été confirmée à la nécropsie.
