Plain-English summary
A horse developed serious growths in its upper airways caused by a fungal infection called Conidiobolus coronatus. The horse underwent surgery to remove these growths and received a special antifungal treatment both directly into the lesions and on the skin. Four years later, a check-up showed that the horse was doing well and there were no signs of the infection returning. The treatment was successful.
Abstract
A horse had severe granulomatous lesions of the upper airways that were attributable to Conidiobolus coronatus. Therapeutic success was documented by clinical examination of the horse 4 years after treatment by surgical extirpation and intralesional and topical use of amphotericin B.
