  • Title: Cryptococcal pneumonia and abortion in an equine fetus.
    Author: Blanchard PC, Filkins M.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1992 Nov 15; 201(10):1591-2. PubMed ID: 1289342.
    Abstract:
    Cryptococcus neoformans was the causative agent of pneumonia in a 9-month-old equine fetus aborted by a healthy American Paint mare. Endometritis was diagnosed on biopsy, and vaginal specimens obtained for culture were Cryptococcus-positive 1 month following abortion but not 5 months after abortion. Infection resolved without treatment between 1 and 5 months after abortion, and the mare was bred the following year and delivered a live premature foal without evidence of Cryptococcus infection.
