New research shows that a little - known fungus
called Pichia lives
in healthy
mouths and may play an important role
in protecting us from an
infection caused by the harmful fungus Candida.
Clinical signs of calicivirus
infection include sneezing, nasal congestion, conjunctivitis, discharge from the eyes and nose, sudden lameness
in one or more joints (this is seen more frequently
in kittens and has been
called «limping kitten syndrome»), loss of appetite, fever, lethargy, and ulcers on the tongue (see photo), roof of the
mouth, gums, lips, or nose.
