Early diagnosis of fungal infection is critical for effective treatment and reduces morbidity, mortality, and treatment cost. Chemotherapy is generally used for the treatment of fungal diseases. Antifungal drugs licensed for systematic use in dogs have been limited to a few agents and are often ...
Reporting adverse effects of any drug to the relevant national bodies is necessary in order to ensure adequate and accurate information is amassed. References Peterson AL, Torres SM, Rendahl A, Koch SN: Frequency of urinary tract infection in dogs with inflammatory skin disorders treated with ...

infection of the skin, subcutaneous tissues and eventually bone, characterised by the diagnostic triad of relatively painless but relentlessly enlarging subcutaneous mass, development of sinus tracts that exude sero-purulent discharge and the presence of fungal grains in discharge and tissue [11,12,13]...
The fungal CW plays a vital role in host–pathogen interaction at most stages of infection, aiding in keeping cell integrity [33]. Various pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are present on the cell surface, which could be recognized by the host immune system’s pattern recognition ...
In addition, as Candida is a common human commensal, there is a theoretical concern that Candida vaccines could disrupt the normal microbiota. Targeting antigens specific to the invasive hyphal form could minimize this potential drawback. On the host side, the diverse infection sites and the ...
