[Candida albicans infection in Japanese nightingales: diagnosis therapy and supplementary measures].

Abstract

Yeast and fungal infections may constitute a major problem in aviary birds. A case of yeast infection is reported, which was possibly due to antibiotherapy and malnutrition. Ketoconazole is effective in controlling this type of infection. Methods by which these infections may be prevented are recommended, as well as examinations which are useful in aviary birds.
