“…This report describes 5 dogs with Candida peritonitis, a condition reported only twice previously in the veterinary literature . All dogs in this study had a history of antimicrobial administration coupled with either intestinal and/or biliary surgery (4 cases), or intestinal ulceration associated with administration of a NSAID (one dog).…”

“…In contrast to the numerous publications in human medicine, there is a dearth of information on Candida peritonitis in the veterinary literature. Only 2 previous cases involving dogs have been reported, one following enterotomy for removal of an intestinal foreign body, and the other one subsequent to intestinal resection and anastomosis for removal of a jejunal mass …”

Candida peritonitis is reported in people and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality compared with sterile or bacterial peritonitis. Recognized predisposing risk factors include peritoneal dialysis, hollow viscous organ perforation, abdominal surgery, inflamed intestinal mucosa, antimicrobial administration, and immunosuppression. In this report, we describe 5 cases of dogs with peritonitis complicated by Candida spp; 3 dogs with C albicans, one dog with C albicans and C glabrata, and one dog with C glabrata only. The 3 dogs with C albicans peritonitis presented with duodenal perforation due to NSAID therapy, intestinal resection and anastomosis following postspay-surgery dehiscence, and intestinal foreign body removal. The 2 dogs with C glabrata peritonitis had undergone cholecystectomy due to gall bladder rupture and dehiscence of intestinal biopsy removal sites following exploratory laparatomy. In all cases, initial diagnosis of fungal peritonitis was made via cytologic examination of peritoneal effusions, which revealed marked pyogranulomatous inflammation with numerous 3-8 lm oval, deeply basophilic yeast organisms with thin clear capsules noted within phagocytes and extracellularly. In addition, germ tube formation, hyphae, and pseudohyphae were rarely seen in some of the cases with pure C albicans.

“…Em cães hígidos, C. parapsilosis foi isolada em amostras de mucosas vaginal, oral, perianal e prepucial (Cleff et al, 2005;Brito et al, 2009). A candidose em animais está relacionada à C. albicans, com relatos em cães, gatos e macacoprego (Ferreiro et al, 2002;Cleff et al, 2008;Ong et al, 2010). No entanto, no presente estudo esta espécie não foi encontrada.…”

RESUMO:As dermatopatias correspondem a maioria dos atendimentos realizados em clínicas veterinárias de pequenos animais. Dentre essas, as micoses cutâneas comumente diagnosticadas são dermatofitose, malasseziose e candidose. Além disso, os cuidados com animais de estimação cresceram auxiliados pelo surgimento de pet shops. O objetivo foi isolar e identificar leveduras e dermatófitos em instrumentos de tosa de ambientes veterinários em Pelotas, RS, Brasil. Em pet shops, consultórios e clínicas veterinárias foram coletadas amostras de rascadeiras e lâminas da máquina através de swabs estéreis e impressão em placas com ágar Sabouraud acrescido de cloranfenicol, azeite de oliva e ciclohexemida, incubadas a 25º e 37ºC, por até 35 dias. As colônias filamentosas foram identificadas conforme as características do grupo dermatófitos e as leveduras, através de método automatizado. A análise de frequência de isolamento foi realizada pelo método qui-quadrado. Foram coletados 1 hospital veterinário, 4 clínicas, 4 consultórios veterinários e 6 pet shops resultando em 150 amostras, sendo 80 da lâmina da máquina de tosa e 70 da rascadeira. O isolamento fúngico foi obtido em 58 amostras, das quais 58,6% eram da lâmina da máquina de tosa e 41,4% da rascadeira, resultando em 78 isolados leveduriformes; uma vez que não foram isolados fungos filamentosos do grupo dermatófitos. Malassezia pachydermatis foi a levedura mais frequentemente isolada, tanto nas amostras da lâmina da máquina de tosa quanto nas da rascadeira, enquanto que, Trichosporon sp. foi isolado somente nas da rascadeira. Assim, a lâmina da máquina de tosa foi a mais contaminada, com predominância de M. pachydermatis, entretanto, nenhum dermatófito foi isolado. Palavras-chave: pet shops; lâmina; rascadeira; banho OCCURRENCE OF FUNGI WITH PATHOGENIC POTENTIAL IN SHEARING TOOLSABSTRACT: Dermatopathies account for most visits to small animal veterinary clinics. Among these, the most commonly diagnosed cutaneous mycoses are dermatophytosis, malasseziosis and candidiasis. Due to the importance of the growing pet care business with the spread of pet shops, this study aimed to isolate and identify the occurrence of yeasts and dermatophytes in shearing tools used in veterinary environments in the city of Pelotas, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Slicker and clipper blade samples were collected in pet shops as well as veterinary offices and clinics by sterile swabs and pressed onto plates containing Sabouraud agar added with chloramphenicol, olive oil and cycloheximide, incubated at 25 o and 37 o C for up to 35 days. Filamentous colonies were identified according to dermatophytes group characteristics, and yeasts according to the automated method. Frequency of isolation analysis was performed by the chi-square method. Samples were collected at one veterinary hospital, four clinics, four veterinary offices and six pet shops, totaling 150 samples, 80 of which from clipper blades and 70 from slickers. Fungal isolation was positive in 58 samples, 58.6% of which from clippers and...

“…In human patients, cutaneous candidiasis rarely develops into disseminated candidiasis [9]. Similarly, in dogs, progression of a localized infection into a systemic one has not been reported, but reports on (muco)cutaneous [13] and disseminated candidiasis [14–20] in this species are scarce anyway. In the few case reports so far, however, at least one predisposing factor was present or suspected (Table 1), which was not the case in this patient.…”

BackgroundThe reports on disseminated candidiasis in dogs so far describe at least one predisposing factor. This case report, however, highlights candidiasis in a dog without any known predisposition.PatientA 1.5-year-old intact female Hovawart dog was presented with subcutaneous nodules and polyuria/polydipsia. An excisional biopsy revealed a chronic pyogranulomatous and necrotizing inflammation with mycotic structures. The patient became febrile and lethargic, and developed lameness.MethodsA physical examination, blood tests, urinalysis, thoracic radiographs, abdominal ultrasonography of the abdomen, fine-needle aspiration biopsies, and a culture of a subcutaneous nodule aspirate were obtained. Selected sections of multiple organs were collected for routine histology postmortem. The isolate and a subcutaneous mass were subjected to molecular identification and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF–MS) analysis.ResultsClinical, laboratory, and radiological findings were consistent with a granulomatous chronic systemic inflammation. Cytology and histology showed a pyogranulomatous and necrotizing inflammation with myriads of intra- and extra-cellular yeasts and extracellular hyphae. Culture yielded numerous yeast colonies, which appeared Candida albicans–like, but showed a negative serum test and a low identification in API 20 C AUX. Nucleic acid sequences showed homology with the C. albicans-type strain CBS 562. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) resulted in a new type with designation DST121. The identification of the isolates was confirmed by MALDI-TOF–MS analysis.Conclusion and Clinical ImportanceFuture MLST typing and investigation of virulence can provide further evidence whether this MLST-type is associated with clinical cases of disseminated candidiasis without an apparent predisposing condition.
