文摘

An 8-month female shitzu was presented with depression, anorexia, fever, weakness, lethargy, consecutive coughing, sneezing and severe itching of ears. There was otitis externa with corneal ulcer and keratoconjunctivitis. Microscopic examination of impression smears of all samples revealed numerous yeasts typical of Malassezia sp. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and additional tests confirmed the identification of Malassezia pachydermatis. Histopathological examination of skin biopsies revealed oval spores in the superficial layer of the affected skin. There were also follicles containing Demodex spp.
