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.
