Male cat, 2 years old, with a refractory infection by Sporothrix brasiliensis, presents a single nodular lesion in the left auricular pavilion. To confirm the diagnosis, cytology, fungal culture, antifungal susceptibility test, molecular analysis, and, to aid in the differential diagnosis, bacterial culture, antibiogram, and histopathology of the lesion were performed. In the absence of therapeutic success with conventional antifungals, photodynamic therapy (PDT) was introduced, demonstrating a satisfactory response in the sixth treatment session.
雄性猫，2岁，患有巴西孢子丝菌难治性感染，左耳廓出现单个结节性病变。为确诊，进行了细胞学检查、真菌培养、抗真菌药敏试验、分子分析，并且为辅助鉴别诊断，还对病变进行了细菌培养、药敏试验和组织病理学检查。在常规抗真菌药物治疗未取得成功的情况下，采用了光动力疗法（PDT），在第六次治疗时显示出令人满意的效果。
