Article Synopsis
- A 3.5-year-old mixed-breed dog was diagnosed with invasive candidiasis, leading to systemic Candida infection and multi-organ colonization, following a limb injury.
- Despite antibiotic treatment, the dog died three days later, with necropsy revealing extensive pyogranulomas in the liver, stomach ulcers, and lung consolidation associated with Candida albicans.
- The case highlights a rare occurrence of invasive candidiasis in dogs, noting that neutropenia from sepsis and antibiotic use could have facilitated the yeast's invasion and spread to various organs.
