Abstract
The present case report describes the isolation of the fungus Cokeromyces recurvatus from the intestinal tract of a canine patient. Infection by this fungus is rare, having only been reported in 8 human beings and 1 cat. The fungus is not reported to exhibit tissue invasion. Cokeromyces recurvatus is most likely an opportunistic agent, and most cases described involve some degree of immunosuppression.
