Feline Aspergillosis - 22/11/13
, Jessica J. Talbot, BSc(vet)(hons)Résumé |
Feline aspergillosis includes sinonasal aspergillosis (SNA), sino-orbital aspergillosis (SOA), other focal invasive forms, and disseminated disease. SOA is an invasive mycosis that is being increasingly recognized, and is most commonly caused by a recently discovered pathogen Aspergillus felis.

SNA has a favorable prognosis with treatment, whereas the prognosis for SOA remains poor.
