Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: A 2-year-old domestic longhair crossbred female cat was referred for a second opinion on a non-healing surgical wound after left eye enucleation. In addition to the left orbital lesion, ulcerative granular masses protruding from the left nostril and on the base of the left ear were noted. A diagnosis of cryptococcosis was established using histopathological examination and a latex cryptococcal antigen agglutination test. The cat was successfully treated with itraconazole.
UNASSIGNED: Cryptococcosis, commonly reported in Australia, western Canada and the western USA, is rarely reported in companion animals in Europe. This marks the first report of cryptococcosis in cats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, emphasising the need to raise awareness within the veterinary community, both local and regional, about this disease.
摘要:
■一只2岁的家养长毛杂交母猫在左眼摘除后对未愈合的手术伤口提出第二意见。除了左眼眶病变,注意到从左鼻孔和左耳基部突出的溃疡性颗粒状肿块。使用组织病理学检查和乳胶隐球菌抗原凝集试验建立了隐球菌病的诊断。猫成功地用伊曲康唑治疗。
