Rare Cryptococus gattii infection in an immunocompetent dairy goat following a cesarean section
چکیده انگلیسی

A 5-year-old dairy goat was presented seven weeks post cesarean section for incomplete healing of the incision site. Cytology revealed cryptococcal organisms that were confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control as Cryptococcus gattii type VGIIa. Most cryptococcomas were surgically removed, but some penetrated deep in to the muscular layers and likely into peritoneum. The goat was treated daily with oral fluconazole for 6 months, and had a normal life for almost 2 years.


► Infections with Cryptococcus gattii are on the rise in humans and animals.
► Immunocompetent hosts are at risk and infection can progress rapidly.
► Cryptococcal infections can successfully be treated with long-term antifungals.
► Food-producing animals such as goats have limitations in therapeutic drugs.
► Characteristics were granulomas and draining of a vaseline-like fluid.
