| Abstract;A 15-year-old spayed female cat was affected with antibiotic resistant granulomatous dermatitis in the metatarsal skin and interdigital web of its right forelimb. Histopathological examination of a biopsy from the right forelimb revealed chronic pyogranulomatous dermatitis with an intrahyphal septate mycelium. Fusarium oxysporum was isolated and identified using a fungal culture. The cat was treated with ketoconazole but the lesion spread to the adjacent skin, exhibiting side effects such as hepatic dysfunction and diarrhea. The cat was cured after three months of itraconazole administration. This was the first case of feline fusariosis in Japan. (author abst.) |
