Six dogs with COM had appendicular lesions, 5 had axial lesions, and 3 had both appendicular and axial lesions; 9 had monostotic disease, and 5 had polyostotic disease. Axial lesions and nonadjacent polyostotic disease were more common in dogs with COM than in dogs with OSA, but radiographic appearance was not different between the 2 groups. Median IgG titer at diagnosis of COM was 1:48 and was significantly decreased after 6 and 12 months of treatment. Percentage of dogs with COM that had clinical signs was significantly decreased after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of treatment. One year after initiation of treatment, 9 of 9 dogs were still receiving fluconazole and 8 of 9 dogs had positive results for serum IgG titer testing.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Dogs with COM typically had a rapid improvement in clinical signs after initiating treatment with fluconazole but required long-term antifungal treatment. Dogs with COM differed from dogs with OSA, but radiographic features had a great degree of overlap between groups, confounding the ability to make a diagnosis on the basis of diagnostic imaging alone.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.20.12.0696","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,15]],"date-time":"2021-11-15T13:28:08Z","timestamp":1636982888000},"page":"63-70","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Clinical features, treatment, and outcome of dogs with Coccidioides osteomyelitis"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"260","author":[{"given":"Stephanie L.","family":"Shaver","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Specialty Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel S.","family":"Foy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Specialty Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Todd D.","family":"Carter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Specialty Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Withrow and MacEwen's Small Animal Clinical Oncology","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"463","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-1-4377-2362-5.00024-4","article-title":"Tumors of the skeletal system","author":"Ehrhart NP","year":"2013","unstructured":"Ehrhart NP, Ryan SD, Fan TM.
