  • Title: Trichosporon infection in a cat.
    Author: Greene CE, Miller DM, Blue JL.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1985 Nov 01; 187(9):946-8. PubMed ID: 4055522.
    Abstract:
    A protruding nasal mass in a domestic shorthair cat with nasal discharge and recurrent fever was determined to be caused by infection with the fungus Trichosporon pullulans, as determined by cytologic, histologic, and fungal culture methods. Initially, the cat was treated orally with ketoconazole and the mass decreased in size. When signs of hepatotoxicosis developed, treatment was reduced to an alternate-day basis. However, the nasal mass increased in size with this regimen, and therapy with amphotericin B and 5-flucytosine was begun. It also was unsuccessful.
