- 33. • Pythium insidiosum is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions • Differential diagnosis includes subcutaneous mycosis, lymphoma, parasitic and bacterial infections • Serologic diagnosis is fast and accurate • Itraconazole, Amphotericin B, Iodine and surgery have shown limited success • Immunotherapy alone or in conjunction with other therapies demonstrates highest success rate

- Subcutaneous No draining tracts
- Cutaneous Intestinal infection occurs in +/- 50% of infected dogs Peri-anal cutaneous lesions develop secondary to intestinal lesions
- Usually cutaneous Up to 5% annual herd loss in herds studied in Venezuela
- Results in 1-2 days vs 2-3 weeks for histopath Sensitivity >95% Specificity > 99% 1 cc serum required Cost $40 per sample
- Surgery must be done in first 30 days of infection with complete removal of Pythium “ Wide and Deep” Equine Immunotherapy >90% at 30 days >75% at 60 days >60% at 90 days Canines probably similar, but most intestinal cases present at >90 days
- Intense allergic/inflammatory response leading to tissue death and necrosis
- Top Eosinophil/mast cell changing to Macropahge/lymphocyte Bottom Hyphae death and removal
- Historical Equines overall 65-75% (90% in 30 day dropping to 50% in 90 day) (in this study 3 of 6 failures were >90 day infections) Canines overall 35% Lower due to advanced Intestinal infections
- 8/22/03 initial trmt 9/27/03 90 days 11/25/03 120 days 3/17/04 240 days
- In advanced cases de-bulking has proven helpful. Removes a large part of the Pythium allowing immuno destruction of remaining inection.
