This case report, in the authors' opinion, highlights four points about the diagnosis and clinical presentation of dogs with Pneumocystis spp. Second, the detection of the fungal pathogen was achieved through PCR testing of a BAL sample which was negative with microscopic visualization for Pneumocystis spp.	./cache/cord-292772-xdic7rcy.txt	./txt/cord-292772-xdic7rcy.txt
