Abstract
A case of non-fatal exptl. histoplasmosis in a dog is described. Clinical symptoms, X-ray findings, and complete autopsy report are given. The case is presented to point out that non-fatal histoplasmosis may occur in dogs, and that only limited pathological lesions may be expected in recovered cases. In addition, Histoplasma capsulatum was not isolated by culture from any of the tissues at autopsy, indicating that the fungus presumably was destroyed, and showing that the dog demonstrated a resistance to the infection.
