No signs of involvement of other organ systems nor underlying causes were established. One cat seemed refractory to ketoconazole-therapy. In both cats the skin lesions disappeared within 2-3 months itraconazole treatment. Latex agglutination tests against Cryptococci capsula antigen were performed and stayed longtime elevated while clinical lesions were not present anymore. The test may give an indication about prognosis. SN - 0040-7453 UR - https://www.unboundmedicine.com/medline/citation/9173591/[2_cases_of_cryptococcosis_in_cats]_ DB - PRIME DP - Unbound Medicine ER -
