    Adiaspiromog真菌病是由热双态真菌引起的真菌感染,被分类为Emmonsiaparva和E.crescens(以前是金孢子菌属。)直到最近,当提出新的分类时。我们记录了严重的脂肪肉芽肿病的病理结果,淋巴结受累,野生欧洲兔(Oryctolaguscuniculus)。兔出现肉芽肿性肺炎伴气管支气管淋巴结肿大。组织病理学,肺扩张了无数,密集的细胞,嗜异性和肉芽肿灶,围绕双至三层的外生孢子。在所有肺叶中,Adiaspore密度被认为是相似的。在左尾肺叶,使用数字图像分析在50-mm2面积中计数80个气孔。平均和中值脂肪孢子直径为240±52μm和255μm,分别。气管支气管淋巴结表现出中等数量的相似的脂肪孢子。从显微解剖的孢子中提取的DNA的PCR扩增未能鉴定Emmonsiaspp。-特异性DNA.这些数据表明,在野生欧洲兔子中,脂肪肉芽肿病可能导致严重的肉芽肿性肺炎。尽管使用从福尔马林固定的组织中提取的DNA通过PCR确认病原体并不总是成功的,数字图像分析可用于帮助准确评估脂肪孢子密度和形态。
    Adiaspiromycosis is a mycotic infection caused by thermally dimorphic fungi classified as Emmonsia parva and E. crescens (formerly Chrysosporium spp.) until recently, when new classifications were proposed. We document the pathologic findings in a severe case of adiaspiromycosis, with lymph node involvement, in a wild European rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus). The rabbit exhibited granulomatous pneumonia with tracheobronchial lymph node enlargement. Histopathologically, the lung was expanded by myriad, densely cellular, heterophilic and granulomatous foci, surrounding bi- to trilaminar adiaspores. Adiaspore density was considered to be similar in all lung lobes. In the left caudal lung lobe, 80 adiaspores were counted in a 50-mm2 area using digital image analysis. The mean and median adiaspore diameters were 240 ± 52 μm and 255 μm, respectively. Tracheobronchial lymph nodes exhibited moderate numbers of similar adiaspores. PCR amplification of DNA extracted from microdissected adiaspores failed to identify Emmonsia spp.-specific DNA. These data suggest that adiaspiromycosis may result in severe granulomatous pneumonia in wild European rabbits. Although confirmation of the etiologic agent by PCR using DNA extracted from formalin-fixed tissue is not always successful, digital image analysis can be used to aid accurate assessment of adiaspore density and morphology.
