Abstract
Two cats with phaeohyphomycosis, one infected with Phialophora verrucosa and the other with Exophiala jeanselmei, were treated with ketaconazole alone and in combination with 5-fluorocytosine after recurrence of the infections following surgical excision. The drugs were given orally at various doses and for various lengths of time, but were ineffective. Hepatocellular damage occurred in one cat.
Keywords: Domestic cat, phaeohyphomycosis, ketaconazole, 5-fluorocytosine, Phialophora verrucosa, Exophiala jeanselmei
