🧬 Fighting Aspergillosis in Pets: Awareness + Diagnostics
At MiraVista Veterinary Diagnostics, we address aspergillosis — a serious fungal infection caused by Aspergillus spp. — in dogs and cats. This condition can present as sinonasal disease (especially in dogs) or systemic infection (rare but severe).

Our diagnostic options include:
• Antigen EIA test for systemic aspergillosis (commonly in certain breeds like German Shepherds).
• Antibody immunodiffusion test for sinonasal involvement.

🔍 If your patient has persistent nasal discharge, sneezing, or unexplained respiratory signs — especially if it’s hard to manage — consider fungal testing.

🐾 From the Experts at MiraVista Veterinary Diagnostics:
When our pets struggle with unexplained lethargy, weight loss, or persistent respiratory issues, fungal infections might be the hidden culprit. Our dedicated “Fungal Diseases” hub covers key diagnostics for conditions like Blastomycosis, Histoplasmosis, Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever), Aspergillosis, and Cryptococcosis—so veterinary teams and animal owners alike have a resource for awareness and action.

⚠️ Negative Antigen Test? Don’t Rule It Out
Histoplasma or Blastomyces infections can still be present even when initial antigen tests come back negative—especially early in the disease or with localized lesions.
We recommend:
✔️ Testing both urine and serum
✔️ Adding antibody testing if antigen results are negative
✔️ Retesting after 1 month, if needed
✔️ Following up with cytology or histopathology when appropriate

🐱 Cryptococcus Can Be Sneaky
This fungal infection can cause respiratory, neurologic, or skin symptoms in pets—but goes undiagnosed without specific testing.
MiraVista’s latex agglutination test detects the antigen quickly and can track treatment with follow-up titers.

👃 Chronic Nasal Discharge? Think Aspergillosis.
Aspergillosis can be tricky to diagnose, especially since signs range from sneezing and nasal depigmentation to fever and neurologic issues.
👉 MiraVista recommends antibody testing for sinonasal disease (common in long-nosed breeds) and antigen testing for suspected disseminated infections—especially in German Shepherds.
