Signs of fungal rhinitis include epistaxis, sneezing, mucopurulent nasal discharge and exophthalmous. Brachycephalic feline breeds seem to be at increased risk for development of nasal aspergillosis–penicilliosis. Computed tomography (CT) imaging and rhinoscopy are useful in assessing the extent of the disease and in obtaining diagnostic samples.

Fungal rhinitis is uncommon in the cat and cases of nasal aspergillosis-penicilliosis have been rarely reported. Signs of fungal rhinitis include epistaxis, sneezing, mucopurulent nasal discharge and exophthalmos. Brachycephalic feline breeds seem to …

2021年2月15日 · Invasive fungal rhinitis causes significant morbidity in cats. Diagnostic investigation of more common pathogens includes detection of fungal antigen (Cryptococcus) or antifungal antibodies (Aspergillus). This case demonstrates that histoplasmosis can present as chronic nasal disease in cats.

Clinical signs of Aspergillus or Penicillium rhinitis and sinusitis in cats include chronic mucopurulent nasal discharge, epistaxis, and mandibular lymphadenopa-thy.

The most common invasive fungal infections reported in cats worldwide are cryptococcosis, aspergillosis, sporotrichosis and phaeohyphomycoses. Others encountered in more geographically restricted regions include blastomycosis, histoplasmosis and coccidiomycosis.

Cryptococcosis is the most common systemic fungal infection of cats and should be considered a differential diagnosis for cats with respiratory tract disease, subcutaneous nodules, lymphadenopathy, intraocular inflammation, fever, and CNS disease.

2003年5月15日 · Localized infection of the nasal or paranasal cavities caused by Aspergillus spp or Penicillium spp was diagnosed in 3 cats. Clinical signs included chronic mucopurulent nasal discharge, epistaxis, and mandibular lymphadenopathy. Rhinoscopic and diagnostic imaging findings were compatible with sever …

The computed tomographic (CT) findings of fungal rhinitis/sinusitis in cats were characterized. The CT images of 10 cats ranging in age from 7 to 13 years were examined. The mean age was 10.8 years and all were neutered males. Nasal aspergillosis was diagnosed in five cats, cryptococcosis in three c …

2005年2月1日 · Signs of fungal rhinitis include epistaxis, sneezing, mucopurulent nasal discharge and exophthalmous. Brachycephalic feline breeds seem to be at increased risk for development of nasal aspergillosis–penicilliosis. Computed tomography (CT) imaging and rhinoscopy are useful in assessing the extent of the disease and in obtaining diagnostic samples.

2019年12月20日 · Fungal rhinosinusitis, including sinonasal aspergillosis (SNA) and sino-orbital aspergillosis (SOA), is the most common type of aspergillosis encountered in cats. Other focal forms of aspergillosis including disseminated invasive aspergillosis occur less frequently.
