The present case report describes the isolation of the fungus Cokeromyces recurvatus from the intestinal tract of a canine patient. Infection by this fungus is rare, having only been reported in 8 human beings and 1 cat. The fungus is not reported to exhibit tissue invasion. Cokeromyces recurvatus is most likely an opportunistic agent, and most cases described involve some degree of immunosuppression.
本病例报告描述了从一只犬科患者肠道中分离出弯孢科克霉霉菌的情况。这种真菌感染较为罕见，仅在8例人类和1只猫中报道过。据报道，该真菌不会表现出组织侵袭。弯孢科克霉霉菌很可能是一种机会致病菌，所描述的大多数病例都存在一定程度的免疫抑制。
