Abstract
Cryptococcosis is a systemic mycosis of cosmopolitan distribution caused by a fungus of the genus Cryptococcus, which mainly affects felines. Although considered in cats, it is described as rare. A male feline SRD was treated at the Unibave Veterinary Hospital - HVU with a history of respiratory distress, ulcerated nodule and deformity in the nasal dorsum, presenting with bloody sero discharge. Cryptococcosis was diagnosed by anamnesis, clinical and cytological examination with the observation of agent Cryptoccoccus neoformans. Itraconazole therapy was established for six months, with complete regression of the condition and no reaction to the drug used. The objective of this study was to report a case of feline cryptococcosis in which the therapy employed was successful.
