“…Reports of deep infections in cats include nasal (80), renal (81), and ocular (82) involvement, as well as cerebellar infection (83). Cutaneous, subcutaneous, and systemic phaeohyphomycoses due to Cladophialophora bantiana, Phialophora verrucosa, Fonsecaea pedrosoi, Exophiala spinifera, Alternaria alternata, and A. infectoria have been documented in cats (79,(84)(85)(86)(87)(88)(89)(90)(91)(92).…”

Phaeohyphomycoses, Emerging Opportunistic Diseases in Animals

SUMMARYEmerging fungal diseases due to black yeasts and relatives in domestic or wild animals and in invertebrates or cold- and warm-blooded vertebrates are continually being reported, either as novel pathogens or as familiar pathogens affecting new species of hosts. Different epidemiological situations can be distinguished, i.e., occurrence as single infections or as zoonoses, and infection may occur sporadically in otherwise healthy hosts. Such infections are found mostly in mammals but also in cold-blooded animals, are frequently subcutaneous or cerebral, and bear much similarity to human primary disorders. Infections of the nervous system are mostly fatal, and the source and route of infection are currently unknown. A third epidemiological situation corresponds to pseudoepidemics, i.e., infection of a large host population due to a common source. It is often observed and generally hypothesized that the susceptible animals are under stress, e.g., due to poor housing conditions of mammals or to a change of basins in the case of fishes. The descriptions in this article represent an overview of the more commonly reported and recurring black fungi and the corresponding diseases in different types of animals.

“…Although we suspected the cat under immunosuppressive condition by a use of corticosteroids, phaeohyphomycosis has been known to occur in immunocompetent hosts [4,6]. In the most feline cases, diagnostic tests failed to reveal an underlying immunosuppression including a viral infection [3,7,8,11,14].…”

ABSTRACT. The black nodule measuring 1 cm in diameter developed in the base of nail of an 8-year-old Japanese domestic male cat. Histological examination of the excised nodule revealed a granulomatous lesion extending from the epidermis to adjacent bone. The lesion was consisted of diffuse infiltration of macrophages with epithelioid cells and multinucleated giant cells. These macrophages contained a few to numerous yeast-like brown pigmented fungus cells with a spherical shape and dark thick wall. The PCR amplification with universal primers of the 28S ribosomal RNA gene yielded a 628-bp fragment and the direct sequence confirmed that the diagnosis of the lesion was phaeohyphomycosis caused by the pathogenic dematiaceous fungus, Exophiala jeanselmei.
