Abstract

A 7-year-old castrated male Maltese developed anemia, ascites with peritonitis, and vomiting after urethrostomy. A microbial culture test of the peritoneal fluid indicated Candida albicans. Antifungal therapy was administered with intravenous fluconazole combined with antibacterial therapy. The patient recovered completely 37 days after referral admission.

중성화한 수컷 7년 령의 Maltese가 요도결석으로 인한 요도루조성술 후에 3일 동안 지속된 빈혈 증상으로 충남대학교 동물병원에 진료 의뢰되었다. 수혈 후 복수 소견을 발견 하였다. 복수 검사 결과 Candida albicans 이 검출되었다. Candida albicans 에 의한 복막염으로 진단하여 항진균제로 fluconazole을 정맥 주사 하였다. 임상증상이 호전된 후 경구제로 전환 하였으며 진료 의뢰 후 37일후에 완전히 회복이 되었다. Candida albicans 복막염을 조기에 진단하고 치료를 하여 좋은 예후를 보인 증례였다.
