Invasive fungal rhinitis with adnexal involvement caused by Histoplasma capsulatum in a cat from a non-enzootic location.

Invasive fungal rhinitis causes significant morbidity in cats. Diagnostic investigation of more common pathogens includes detection of fungal antigen (Cryptococcus) or antifungal antibodies (Aspergillus). This case demonstrates that histoplasmosis can present as chronic nasal disease in cats. Histoplasma antigen testing provides a non-invasive diagnostic option. Moreover, this case serves as a reminder that histoplasmosis can affect cats anywhere, even in non-enzootic areas.
