Implication

Prospective study assesses clinical effectiveness and safety of itraconazole and β-glucans in cats with sporotrichosis, indicating potential for improved outcomes.

Key Points

Clinical cure was achieved in 21 out of 29 cats treated, indicating a 72.4% success rate with the tested regimen.
The median treatment duration for achieving clinical cure was 10 weeks, addressing primarily nasal lesions and respiratory signs.
Only two instances of adverse drug reactions were noted at 6.9%, suggesting a relatively safe treatment profile in the cohort.
Findings suggest β-glucans may enhance itraconazole's effectiveness, particularly for cases with challenging nasal involvement.
