    Summary

    A domestic shorthaired cat presented with Rhodococcus equi infection causing pyogranulomatous skin disease and cellulitis. This rare feline case highlights diagnostic challenges and unique lesion locations similar to equine presentations.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Rhodococcus equi is an important pathogen in foals, but rare in cats.
    • Feline infections typically present with different clinical signs and lesion distributions.

    Observation:

    • A two-year-old female domestic shorthaired cat developed pyogranulomatous skin disease and cellulitis.
    • Lesions were intracellular and located similarly to those observed in horses.
    • Cytology and histopathology confirmed an intracellular organism.

    Findings:

    • A pure isolate from a biopsy specimen was identified as Rhodococcus equi via biochemical tests.
    • This case presents a unique clinical manifestation of R. equi in a feline patient.
    • Literature review of feline R. equi cases was conducted.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of R. equi clinical presentations in cats.
    • Highlights potential diagnostic pitfalls in feline Rhodococcus equi infections.
    • Suggests considering equine-like presentations in feline dermatological cases.
