⚠️ 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.

🍁 Fall Adventures, Hidden Dangers
As dogs dig in leaf piles or sniff through wooded areas, they’re exposed to soil-borne fungi like Blastomyces and Histoplasma.
Know the symptoms—coughing, fever, skin lesions—and test early if they don’t resolve with routine care.
