    The present work analyzes a case of cryptococcosis in a domestic feline (Felis catus), mixed breed, 11 years old, treated at the Veterinary Hospital of UNIFEOB, São João da Boa Vista - SP. The animal presented swelling in the nasal region. After clinical examination, material was collected for fungal culture and histopathological examination. In the latter, pyogranulomatous dermatitis and the presence of the microorganism Cryptococcus neoformans were observed, confirming the diagnosis of Cryptococcosis. Therapy with the drugs itraconazole and fish oil, for at least two months of clinical follow-up, resulted in an evident improvement of the signs, since there were no relapses.

    Peritonite infecciosa felina (PIF): revisão de literatura
    (Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-09-18) FOSCO, Maria Paula Périgo; GODOY, Juliana Reis; MALANDRIM, Patrícia; RODRIGUES, Talita Oliveira; SOSSAI, Vinícius; TORRES, Maria Lucia Marcucci
    Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a common disease in feline medicine, has a worldwide distribution and is caused by the coronavirus, which is sensitive to the environment, but can remain in its infectious form for weeks on organic matter and dry surfaces. It is characterized as a silent onset systemic viral disease and can present two different manifestations: effusive or wet, non-effusive or dry. The definitive diagnosis is difficult since there is a lack of specificity of clinical symptoms, lack of pathognomonic hematological and biochemical alterations and the low sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests. The objective of this study was to review the literature on FIP, taking into account that it is an infectious disease that is mainly insidious in environments that have high agglomerations and feline breeding, difficult to diagnose and progressively fatal, due to the lack of specific treatment. .
