Abstract

A bronchopneumonic process diagnosed as mycotic in origin is described. The dog fully recovered after 120 days of treatment with ketoconazole. Determination of the serological level of anti-IgG against Aspergillus was very useful in the follow-up, because the clinical improvement of the animal was evident long before the antibody level dropped significantly.
