RESUMEN

A case of localized oral mandibular blastomycosis is described in a five-year-old dog. Complete resolution of clinical signs and oral radiographic changes were seen following itraconazole therapy at 5 mg/kg/day for four and a half months. The patient remained free of Blastomyces at the one year follow up based on the Mira Vista Blastomyces urine antigen test by EIA (Enzyme Immunoassay)a. A literature review of localized blastomycosis cases in humans and dogs was performed, available diagnostic tests evaluated, and treatment comparisons made.
