Abstract

A canine patient exhibited partial anorexia and sudden respiratory distress. Diagnostic imaging and cytology of tracheal-lavage fluids revealed fungal pneumonia. Molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis detected Candida catenulata. Treatment with oral itraconazole for 3 weeks was effective. This is the first report of C. catenulata infection in a dog.

아토피성 피부염 장기 치료중인 개가 식욕부진을 동반한 갑작스러운 호흡기 증상으로 내원하였다. 영상학적 진단 및 기관지 세척액의 세포검사 결과 곰팡이성 폐렴으로 진단되었다. 관찰된 곰팡이는 분자적 동정 및 계통분석학적 분석 결과 Candida catenulata로 확인되었다. 3주간의 경구 itraconazole 치료 후 환자는 회복되었다. 이 증례는 개에서 C. catenulata 감염의 첫 예이다.
