Abstract
Attempts were made to determine the clinical features and the causative organism of ringworm occurred in a cat in Chinju city, Korea. Alopecia and greyish white crusty lesions were observed around the eye, nose and posterior limb while irregular, partial loss of hairs and white scales were in the ear, neck and abdomen lesions. Direct microscopic and cultural examination were carried out for the hairs and crusts taken from the skin lesions, and the causative organism was identified as M. canis.
진주 시내에서 사육중이던 생후 3개월령의 숫고양이 1두에서 발생한 백선증의 임상소견 및 원인균을 조사하였던 결과는 다음과 같다. 환축은 눈, 코주위 및 후지에 심한 원형탈모와 회백색의 가피병변을 나타내었으며 귀, 목, 복부에서도 피부병변이 관찰되었으나 부정형의 부분적 탈모 및 백색의 인설형성 소견이었다. 병변부로부터 채취된 털과 가피에 대하여 직접현미경검사 및 배양검사를 실시하였으며 분리된 원인균은 Microsporum canis로 동정되었다.
