Invasive fungal rhinitis with adnexal involvement caused by in a cat from a non-enzootic location
Case summary This report describes a cat with a rare form of histoplasmosis: invasive rhinitis with adnexal involvement, mimicking disease more commonly caused by cryptococcosis or aspergillosis. This case is especially noteworthy as it was from an area where histoplasmosis is not enzootic. Relevanc...
