Abstract

A case of Aspergillosis is reported in a 12-day-old chick. The chick died with clinical signs such as dyspnea, gasping, and accelerated breathing. At necropsy, small white caseous nodules (approximately 1 mm in diameter) scattered throughout lung tissue. Upon H&I staining, multiple granulomas were observed in tertialy bronchi. Lesions consisted of central area of necrosis surrounded by macrophages, giant cells, lymphocytes, and some fibrous tissues. Hyphae of Aspergillus in the lesion branched into Y type, which was observed by PAS staining for fungus.
