Case Reports

Cryptococcosis in a llama (Lama glama)

RJ Bildfell, P Long, and R Sonn

Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University, Corvallis 97339-0429, USA.

Cryptococcosis was diagnosed in a 17-year-old male llama that had been euthanatized following an acute onset of neurologic disease. Tissues affected included the brain, spinal cord, lung, and kidney. The character of the leukocytic response varied from minimal to pyogranulomatous. Cryptococcosis has not been previously reported in a llama, although the infection has been described in 2 other species of New World camelids. The pathogenesis of cryptococcosis is briefly reviewed.
