Fungal skin infection NOS Reaction Insights

The FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine database currently lists 438 adverse event reports that reference Fungal skin infection NOS as a reaction term, including 24 reports with a death outcome — a 550.0% case-fatality figure calculated across only those events where this reaction was coded. The reaction is indexed in the openFDA system under VeDDRA code 1484, the standardized veterinary dictionary used to normalize clinical signs across submitters. Because reports are voluntary and often describe multiple concurrent signs per animal, the volume here reflects reporting intensity rather than true incidence in the broader pet population.

Fungal skin infection NOS appears most frequently in reports for Dog (392 reports), Cat (37 reports), Horse (3 reports) — with Dog dominating at 392 entries. Within those species, the breeds most often named alongside this reaction are Retriever - Labrador (34), Shih Tzu (26), Domestic Shorthair (24). These distributions are influenced both by underlying breed popularity and by how veterinarians and owners code a given clinical sign, so they should be interpreted as a reporting fingerprint rather than a pure susceptibility ranking.

The drugs most commonly co-reported with Fungal skin infection NOS are Oclacitinib Maleate (118 reports), Trilostane (54 reports), Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad (47 reports), Anti-Il31 Mab Mcs Lot #1283563 (34 reports), with Oclacitinib Maleate appearing alongside this reaction in 118 submissions. Co-reporting does not establish that any specific product caused the reaction — FDA CVM data captures temporal association only. The value of these aggregates is in flagging which therapeutic classes appear repeatedly alongside a given clinical sign, so owners and veterinarians can ask targeted questions about medications currently in use.
