Abstract
Ceotrichum candidum was identified from 2 dogs among 52 dogs which had various dermatological problems. One was 5-month-old male Labrador and the other was 7-month-old female German Shepherd. The diagnosis was confirmed by direct microscopy of the specimen as well as cultured isolation of the fungus from the cutaneous lesions. The. organism showed septate hyphae and rectangular to cylindrical arthrospores and no blastospores. Urea was not utilized and no assimilation of maltose was observed. Clinical improvement was occurred by application of 2% gentian violet and 2% miconazole solutions. It is suggested that this organism should be included in the differential diagnosis of canine dermatitis.
