A report from the College of Veterinary Medicine in South Korea discusses a case of dermatophytic pseudomycetoma (DPM) in a domestic Korean short hair cat. DPM is a rare infection in cats that affects the deeper layers of the skin. The cat in question presented with crusts, nodules, and itching, and was diagnosed with DPM with secondary pyoderma. Treatment with oral itraconazole did not lead to significant improvement, but intralesional injection of amphotericin B and oral terbinafine administration partially reduced the symptoms. The researchers suggest that further studies are needed to determine the optimal dosage and frequency of amphotericin B for DPM treatment. [Extracted from the article] |
