Abstract
Extract
Most reports of systemic mycosis in cats describe local or generalized infection by the yeast Cryptococcus neoformans. Eight reports were reviewed by Cordes and Royal Citation(1967), and at least another three have been published since then (Okoski and Hasegawa, Citation1968; Campbell et al., Citation1970; Clark and Roubin, Citation1970). Two other yeasts, Histoplasma capsulatum and Blastomyces dermatiditis, have been reported as causing pneumonia in cats (Akun, Citation1950; Sheldon, Citation1966). All of these yeasts are recognized pathogens, often primary, in man and animals.
