Abstract: A 4-month-old Fitch (Musfela putorius furo) was presented vomiting and with a haemorrhagic enteritis that failed to respond to antibiotic, vitamin and fluid therapy. At necropsy, apart from lesions referable to an enteritis, no other specific abnormality was observed. Histopathologically, lesions were seen in myocardium and renal medulla associated with mycelia, pseudomycelia and blastospores. Marked lymphoid depletion was noted in lymph nodes and spleen. Candida tropicalis was isolated from liver and spleen.
