Canine and feline coccidioidomycosis: clinical findings, diagnosis and treatment
Coccidioidomycosis is an endemic disease of the arid zones of America. Two species of this genus have been identified: Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii. The variety of susceptible species, including humans, makes its diagnosis highly relevant. This disease does not have a specific symptomatology that allows its identification. Both in dogs and cats, it may present as a mild pulmonary disease or as a disseminated multisystemic disease that can cause death. The diagnosis is based on the histopathological findings of microabscesses (fresh) in respiratory or other organs with identification of spherules containing endospores. However, because of the challenge of its diagnosis, especially in regions where it is not endemic, it is necessary to proceed with complementary tests such as culture and isolation, under the appropriate biosecurity conditions, and subsequent confirmation by molecular tests.

La coccidioidomicosis es una enfermedad endémica de las zonas áridas de América. Se han identificado dos especies de este género, Coccidioides immitis y Coccidioides posadasii. La variedad de especies susceptibles, incluyendo a los humanos, hace que su diagnóstico tenga una gran relevancia. Esta enfermedad no presenta una sintomatología específica que facilite su identificación. Tanto en caninos como en felinos, se puede presentar como una enfermedad pulmonar leve o una enfermedad multisistémica diseminada que puede causar la muerte. El diagnóstico se basa en el hallazgo histopatológico de microabscesos (frescos) en muestras del tracto respiratorio u otros órganos con la respectiva identificación de esférulas que contengan endosporas. No obstante, a causa del desafío que representa su diagnóstico sobre todo en regiones donde no es endémica, es necesario recurrir a pruebas complementarias, como el cultivo y aislamiento, bajo las condiciones de bioseguridad adecuadas, y una posterior confirmación mediante pruebas moleculares.
