Pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis carinii in two unrelated Miniature Dachshunds is reported. The clinical findings, gross- and histopathology and some diagnostic transmission and scanning electron microscopic features of the condition are described. Although pneumocystosis has been reported from a human and a domestic goat in the Republic of South Africa, these are probably the first reported cases of the canine disease in this country.
本文报道了两只无亲缘关系的迷你腊肠犬由卡氏肺孢子虫引起的肺炎。描述了该病的临床症状、大体病理和组织病理学以及一些诊断性透射电镜和扫描电镜特征。虽然南非共和国曾报道过人及家养山羊感染肺孢子虫病，但这些可能是该国首次报道的犬类病例。
