Canine Sinonasal Aspergillosis
نویسنده
چکیده
Aspergillus fumigatus is a ubiquitous soil saphrophyte, and a cause of chronic rhinitis in dogs. Infection of the nasal cavity may develop following inhalation of a large number of fungal spores. The disease spreads throughout the nasal cavity and often extends into the frontal sinuses. Rarely, infection disseminates throughout the body. Sinonasal aspergillosis most often affects young to middle age dolichocephalic and mesocephalic dogs.
