Successful treatment of Paecilomyces variotii splenic abscesses : a rare complication in a previously unrecognized chronic granulomatous disease child
Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease, 2005Co-Authors: Shih Min Wang, Chi Chang Shieh, Ching Chuan LiuAbstract:A case of splenic abscesses caused by Paecilomyces variotii in a 21-month-old child with previously undiagnosed chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is described. An X-linked form of CGD with deficiency of gp91-phox was diagnosed. The fungal pathogen was isolated from the abscess contents. Cure was achieved by a partial splenectomy and a prolonged fluconazole and flucytosine combination treatment regimen. P. variotii is an emerging fungus in children with CGD. Every effort should be made to recover the possible underlying immunodeficiency in children with Paecilomycosis.

diagnosis treatment and temporary remission of disseminated Paecilomycosis in a vizsla
Journal of The American Animal Hospital Association, 1996Co-Authors: P. A. March, K Knowles, C L Dillavou, R M Jakowski, G O FredenAbstract:A case of disseminated Paecilomycosis in a three-year-old vizsla is described. Clinical signs of lethargy, weight loss, lymphadenopathy, diarrhea, and vestibulocochlear deficits were exhibited. Dense colonization of bone marrow by the fungus was found early in the disease course. Serial culture of bone-marrow aspirates and in vitro sensitivity testing helped monitor disease progression and guide antifungal therapy. Clinical and laboratory parameters demonstrated marked improvement for a period of 12 weeks. Multisystemic disease with central nervous system involvement was found at necropsy.

Temporary remission of disseminated Paecilomycosis in a German shepherd dog treated with ketoconazole : case report
AOSIS, 2001Co-Authors: M.j. Booth, J.j. Van Der Lugt, A. Van Heerden, J.a. PicardAbstract:Disseminated mycosis caused by Paecilomyces varioti in a female German shepherd dog presented with chronic forelimb lameness is described. Radiographs of the swollen carpal joint revealed geographic lysis of the radial epiphysis. Diagnosis was based on cytological demonstration of fungal hyphae and chlamydiospores, as well as fungal culture of fluid obtained by arthrocentesis. Temporary remission was characterised by markedly improved clinical signs and laboratory parameters, following treatment with ketoconazole. The dog was euthanased 9 months after the initial diagnosis, following the diagnosis of multifocal discospondylitis. This appears to be the longest described period of temporary remission obtained with treatment in dogs with Paecilomycosis. Clinical, clinicopathological and necropsy findings of this disease in another German shepherd dog are briefly described
