Abstract
Candida albicans is among the major agents of mucous membrane mycosis in humans and animals, with systemic and deep infections observed in immunocompromised hosts.We describe a case of fatal granulomatous myocarditis caused by C albicans in a 20-day-old canary (Serinus canaria). The etiologic diagnosis was confirmed by identifying characteristicmorphologic features of the organism, combined with histochemical staining, and followed by the use of ad hoc biomolecular analysis.[...]File in questo prodotto:
