Abstract

An endoscopic method for administering commercial-grade enilconazole for treatment of nasal aspergillosis in dogs is described. Six dogs with confirmed nasal aspergillosis were anesthetized and feeding tubes were placed endoscopically into caudal sinuses. Commercial-grade enilconazole was infused into turbinates and sinuses for a total dwell time of 45 to 60 minutes. Dogs did not have recurrence of disease at final rhinoscopic examination and were markedly improved a mean of 13.3 months after treatment.

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.
