The pathological features of 10 cases of systemic infection of young red deer by fungi morphologically identified as phycomycetes are described. The most frequently affected organs were the kidneys, followed by liver and central nervous system. The fungi stimulated an acute pyogenic inflammatory reaction and a phagocytic giant cell response. Vasculitis with thrombosis and spread of fungi to the surrounding tissue was a common finding. Culture was attempted in 4 cases; one yielded Absidia, 2 Aspergillus and the other an unidentified fungal growth. Analysis of the histories suggests that, in nine of the ten cases, stressful husbandry may have been a predisposing factor.
描述了10例被形态学鉴定为藻菌纲真菌的马鹿全身性感染的病理特征。最常受影响的器官是肾脏，其次是肝脏和中枢神经系统。真菌引发了急性化脓性炎症反应和吞噬性巨细胞反应。伴有血栓形成的血管炎以及真菌扩散至周围组织是常见表现。对4例进行了培养；1例培养出犁头霉，2例培养出曲霉菌，另1例培养出一种未鉴定的真菌生长物。病史分析表明，在10例中的9例里，应激性饲养管理可能是一个诱发因素。
