Histoplasmosis Infection in Two Cats From California

From the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Epidemiology (Johnson) and Department of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology (Fry); and the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital Microbiology Service (Jang), University of California, Davis, California 95616; and the Care Veterinary Clinic (Anez, Proctor), 1946 West Dorothea, Visalia, California 93277.

Systemic mycotic infections are typically localized to specific geographic regions of the country, because the organisms involved have certain environmental requirements for growth. Suspicion of infection relies on travel to or residence in recognized endemic regions. This report describes infection with histoplasmosis in two indoor cats from central California, an area not considered to be endemic for the disease. Systemic mycotic infections should be considered as differential diagnoses in any cat with compatible clinical signs, regardless of travel history or residence, especially if the cat is presented within a recognized endemic region.
