Dermatophytosis in a Dog Seropositive for Ehrlichia Spp

Abstract

In this report, we present a case of dermatophytosis in a dog seropositive for Ehrlichia spp. Mild annular skin lesions observed on initial presentation persisted and became worse during the course of antibiotic therapy. Microscopic examination of the fungal culture of skin scrapings revealed infection with Microsporum gypseum. The patient fully recovered following treatment with topical 1% clotrimazole and antifungal shampoo.
