Abstract
A clinicopathologic picture caused by Lichtheimia sp. in a 33-year-old male Sapajus xanthosternos kept in a conservationist center is described. Acute apathy, vomiting, fever, and polydipsia were associated with pneumonia, enteritis, and gastritis presenting fibrinoid vasculitis containing hyphae. The fungi were demonstrated molecularly, highlighting the spontaneous disease in primates.
