Journal Article
The First Reported Case of Canine Subcutaneous Cryptococcus flavescens Infection
2012
Overview
This report describes the first documented case of subcutaneous infection due to
Cryptococcus flavescens
in a dog. The chief symptoms of the patient dog were abscessed lesions on the dorsal muzzle, right eyelid, and lower jaw. Biopsy specimens from the lesions on the dorsal muzzle and lower jaw showed pyogranulomatous inflammation with numerous yeast cells. The patient dog was diagnosed with a subcutaneous fungal infection and orally received 5 mg/kg itraconazole once a day for 2 months, the abscesses disappeared. After 1 month at the end of treatment, the skin lesions did not redevelop. Isolates from the biopsy specimens were identified as
C. flavescens
by molecular analysis as well as morphologic and biochemical examination, indicating that
C. flavescens
is a potential canine pathogen.
