Resumo: We studied a series of fifteen fatal cases of aspergillosis in penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus), seen over a 4-year period at a rehabilitation center in Southern Brazil. The clinical and pathological findings based on the lesions found at necropsy are described herein. The majority of animals (11/15) had sudden death without clinical signs. In 33.3% (5/15) of the cases, aspergillosis was restricted to the respiratory system and 66.6% showed disseminated disease, with liver, kidney, adrenal gland and gastrointestinal tract involvement. Typical lesions were characterized as white-yellowish granulomatous nodules. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest series of aspergillosis cases described in penguins in South America.

Os achados clínicos e patológicos das lesões encontradas na necropsia são aqui descritos. A maioria dos animais (11/15) teve morte súbita sem evidenciar sinal clínico prévio. Em 33,3% (5/15) dos casos, aspergilose estava restrita ao trato respiratório e 66,6% demonstrou doença disseminada, com envolvimento hepático, renal, de glândulas adrenais e trato gastrointestinal. Lesões típicas se caracterizaram por nódulos granulomatosos branco-amarelados. De acordo com a literatura consultada, essa é a maior série de casos de aspergilose descrita em pinguins na América do Sul.2012-10-08T12:24:55Z2012-10-08T12:24:55Z2011info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfXAVIER, Melissa Orzechowski et al.
