“…This is similar to research results of da Cunha et al ( 2019) which stated that the main clinical symptoms of dermatophyte infection in cats and dogs are alopecia, erythema, and scale with varying degrees of lesion severity. Moriello et al (2017) and Bianchi et al (2017) also stated that dermatophyte infection will manifest as superficial clinical signs, starting with the presence of erythema then followed by the appearance of scales and crusts, then alopecia. Paryuni et al (2020) mentioned that dermatophytes are known to be unable to grow in the center of the lesion (an area that is experiencing inflammation), so the infection will spread centrifugally to the periphery of the lesion resulting in round lesions such as rings or ringworms.…”

Dermatophytosis is a zoonotic disease caused by fungi of species dermatophyte. The case of dermatophytosis have increased not only in humans but also in animals, especially dogs and cats. The close interaction of cats and humans reported to play an important role in dissemination of zoonotic diseases. Therefore, this study aims to diagnose and to treat of dermatophytosis in cats. Twenty cats with the age of 6-12 months were used in this study. Determination of dermatophyte infection in cats based on clinical signs and laboratory identification of fungi. Skin scrapes samples were cultured onto Sabouraud's dextrose agar medium. Hair and skin scraping were conducted at the day-1 (pretreated with ketoconazole). Subsequently, infected cats were treated with topical application of 2% ketoconazole cream, twice a day for 21 days. Results showed that all of cats positive infected with Microsporum canis. Feature of the skin of cats infected by Microsporum canis demonstrates erythema, scale, crust, and circular alopecia. At day-21, antifungal treatment not only diminished by approximately 85% of the clinical feature of the skin lesion of cat's dermatophytosis but also resulted in the disappearance of the fungi. To conclude, topically applied of antifungal ketoconazole for at least three weeks effective to treat dermatophytosis in cats.

Clinical relevance: In contrast to superficial fungal infections, such as dermatophytosis, invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are characterised by penetration of tissues by fungal elements. Disease can spread locally within a region or can disseminate haematogenously or via the lymphatics. The environment is the most common reservoir of infection. Since fungal spores are airborne, indoor cats are also susceptible to IFIs. Some environmental fungi are ubiquitous and present globally, while others are endemic or hyperendemic within specific geographic regions. Zoonotic pathogens include Microsporum canis, Sporothrix schenckii and Sporothrix brasiliensis. Aim: In the first of a two-part article series, the approach to the investigation of feline IFIs and oomycoses is reviewed. As well as tips for diagnosis, and information on the ecological niche and distribution of fungal pathogens, the review covers clinical presentation of the most common IFIs, including cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, sporotrichosis, phaeohyphomycosis, aspergillosis and dermatophytic pseudomycetoma, as well as the oomycoses pythiosis, lagenidiosis and paralagenidiosis. In Part 2, the spectrum of activity, mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties and adverse effects of antifungal drugs are reviewed, and the treatment and prognosis for specific IFIs and oomycoses are discussed. Evidence base: The review draws on published evidence and the authors' combined expertise in feline medicine, mycology, dermatology, clinical pathology and anatomical pathology.
