A German Shepherd Dog diagnosed with based on fungal culture and DNA sequencing, is the first documented case in Australia, and the Southern Hemisphere. This species is part of complex, which is an emerging concern in immunocompromised human and veterinary patients. Intraventricular brain hemorrhage, noted on MRI, has not been reported previously in a dog with fungal encephalitis. The patient was euthanized due to progression of clinical signs before a final diagnosis was made, so no treatment was attempted in this case.
一只德国牧羊犬经真菌培养和DNA测序确诊感染，这是澳大利亚及南半球首例有记录的病例。该菌种是复合体的一部分，这在免疫功能低下的人类和兽医患者中是一个新出现的问题。磁共振成像（MRI）显示的脑室内出血，此前在患有真菌性脑炎的犬类中尚未有过报道。由于在做出最终诊断前临床症状进展，该患者被实施安乐死，因此本病例未尝试进行治疗。
