Abstract

A 1-year-old, intact female, Yorkshire terrier was referred with diarrhea and depression. Fecal examination indicated overgrowth of yeast-like organisms. CBC and blood smear revealed severe leukemoid reaction with degenerative changes of neutrophils. Radiographic examination showed decreased serosal detail and organomegaly, suggesting pyometra with peritonitis. Thus, the dog was suspected as pyometra with peritonitis. Culture and molecular analysis of the yeast-like organisms revealed that overgrown yeast was Candida parapsilosis.
