Abstract

Disseminated infection with Histoplasma capsulatum was diagnosed in a 7-yr-old female Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris). Clinical signs were nonspecific with the exception of brief periods of tachypnea for 5 days prior to death. H. capsulatum organisms were found in the lungs, tracheobronchial lymph nodes, and liver. Diagnosis was confirmed by tracheal wash, urine H. capsulatum enzyme immunoassay, and necropsy results. This report represents the first published account of disseminated histoplasmosis in a tiger.

摘要

一只7岁的雌性孟加拉虎（Panthera tigris）被诊断为播散性荚膜组织胞浆菌感染。临床症状不具特异性，只是在死亡前5天有短暂的呼吸急促。在肺部、气管支气管淋巴结和肝脏中发现了荚膜组织胞浆菌。通过气管冲洗、尿液荚膜组织胞浆菌酶免疫测定和尸检结果确诊。本报告是关于老虎播散性组织胞浆菌病的首次公开报道。
