Diagnóstico de Malassezia pachydermatis por cultura fúngica de amostra de pelos e escamas de um cachorro-do-mato / Diagnosis of Malassezia pachydermatis by fungal culture of sample of hair and scales of a puppy

A Malassezia pachydermatis é um fungo oportunista amplamente relatado em carnívoros domésticos, mas que possui uma escassez de estudos e relatos quando se analisam os canídeos e felídeos selvagens, apesar de que hoje já se sabe que este fungo representa um potencial patógeno em quadros de otites e dermatites fúngicas nesses animais. Faz-se então, como objetivo do presente trabalho, relatar um diagnóstico de Malassezia pachydermatis em amostra de pelos e escamas de um Cachorro-do-mato (Cerdocyon thous) por meio do diagnóstico micológico, o qual incluiu exame direto, por análise microscópica da amostra clínica e cultura fúngica em àgar sabouraud simples e àgar sabouraud acrescido de cloranfenicol e cicloheximida.

Malassezia pachydermatis is an opportunistic fungus widely reported in domestic carnivores but has a shortage of studies and reports when canids and wild felids are analyzed, although it is now known that this fungus represents a potential pathogen in otitis and fungal dermatitis in these animals. The objective of this work is to report a diagnosis of Malassezia pachydermatis in a sample of hairs and scales of a Cerrado (Cerdocyon thous), using a mycological diagnosis, which included a direct examination by microscopic analysis of clinical sample and fungal culture on simple sabouraud agar plus saber agar plus chloramphenicol and cycloheximide.

The poisoning by aldicarbin dogs and cats can be criminal or accidental, being an emergency in Veterinary Medicine.This study is a report of a clinic case of an accidental poisoning by aldicarb in a cat, thatdies two days after ingestion. The necropsy was made and the main finding was ahemorrhagic catarrhal gastroenteritis with tiny gray granules,compatibles with carbamate.The diagnosis was made based on the history and necropsy findings that suggests that thecause of death was a respiratory failure.
