| Abstract | concurrent infection with Torulopsis glabrata in a dog. Predisposing factors included a history of chronic skin disease of obscure origin treated with antibiotics and/or corticosteroids for 6 months. Laboratory findings, sebaceous gland atrophy, epidermal atrophy, and epidermal hyperkeratosis were all findings that were consistent with those of corticosteroid effects. The immune status of this dog was unknown, but immunosuppression due to prolonged corticosteroid therapy was likely. Although there was no history ofa puncture wound or other cutaneous trauma, the skin is the most probable site of origin of the infection, with subsequent hematogenous or lymphatic dissemination to other organs. Organisms compatible with T. glabrata were identified in lung sections, and T. glabrata was cultured from multiple sites. This infection may have represented a terminal fungemia in a dog with fatal primary disseminated phaeohyphomycosis. |
