Fungal infections in marine animals, particularly pinnipeds, have seen a notable increase, often linked to compromised immune systems in captive environments. species, while common in terrestrial mammals, have sporadically caused dermatophytosis in pinnipeds. A South American sea lion () presented with infection, marking the first such case in this species. Effective treatment combined oral terbinafine with topical ozonized oil, supported by silymarin for liver protection. Accurate fungal identification and sensitivity testing were key to the successful management and recovery of the patient.
海洋动物，尤其是鳍足类动物的真菌感染显著增加，这通常与圈养环境中免疫系统受损有关。某些真菌物种虽然在陆生哺乳动物中很常见，但偶尔也会在鳍足类动物中引起皮肤癣菌病。一只南美海狮出现了真菌感染，这是该物种的首例此类病例。有效的治疗方法是口服特比萘芬并外用臭氧油，并使用水飞蓟素保护肝脏。准确的真菌鉴定和敏感性测试是患者成功治疗和康复的关键。
