Abstract
A two-year-old male Laika weighing 19 kg and a two-year-old female Rottweiler dog weighing 33 kg were presented to the Veterinary Medical Center, Chungbuk National University. Chest radiographs showed miliary interstitial lung pattern in the overall lung fields and the ill-defined mass in the perihilar area, which is consistent with lymphadenopathy in both cases. In the tracheal wash fluid smears in two cases, 90% of cells were eosinophils. Also, Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated from the tracheal wash fluid in Czapek's agar in one case. Ketoconazol (10 mg/kg, PO, ql2hr) alleviated the clinical signs in two dogs. Follow up radiographs showed marked reduction of lung lesions in one case.
