Abstract
A German Shepherd Dog diagnosed with Rasamsonia argillacea based on fungal culture and DNA sequencing, is the first documented case in Australia, and the Southern Hemisphere. This species is part of R. argillacea complex, which is an emerging concern in immunocompromised human and veterinary patients. Intraventricular brain hemorrhage, noted on MRI, has not been reported previously in a dog with fungal encephalitis. The patient was euthanized due to progression of clinical signs before a final diagnosis was made, so no treatment was attempted in this case.
根据真菌培养和 DNA 测序，一只德国牧羊犬被确诊感染了 Rasamsonia argillacea，这是澳大利亚和南半球记录在案的首例病例。该病菌是 R. argillacea 复合菌的一部分，在免疫力低下的人类和兽医患者中正在引起关注。在核磁共振成像中发现的脑室内出血以前从未在患真菌性脑炎的狗身上报道过。在最终确诊前，患者因临床症状恶化而被安乐死，因此没有对该病例进行治疗。
