A 5-year-old Holsteiner gelding from Germany was presented 2 months after a whitish discoloration of the left cornea was observed. Cytologic examination revealed intra- and extracellular globular structures, up to 4 micro m in size, consisting of a central spherical deeply basophilic body surrounded by an unstained halo. The structures were morphologically consistent with Histoplasma spp. Infection with Histoplasma organisms is not endemic in Europe. Topical use of fluconazole was successful in eliminating Histoplasma organisms within 10 days of initiation of treatment.
一匹来自德国的5岁荷斯坦公马在左侧角膜出现白色变色2个月后前来就诊。细胞学检查发现细胞内和细胞外有球形结构,大小可达4微米,由一个中央球形深嗜碱性体和周围未染色的晕圈组成。这些结构在形态上与组织胞浆菌属一致。组织胞浆菌感染在欧洲并非地方病。局部使用氟康唑在治疗开始后10天内成功清除了组织胞浆菌。
