Why is it important?
Blastomycosis is a rare disease with zoonotic implications. It requires careful diagnosis and targeted but also expensive treatment. Very few cases are reported in the equine species so we wanted to share our clinical case.
Perspectives
I felt it could be useful to share the clinical features and the results of this clinical case. It might be helpful for someone else who meets the same lesions and hopefully can get a complete resolution of the disease.
