Rhinophycomycosis entomophthorae occurring in a chimpanzee in the wild in East Africa: further report.

Abstract

The further progress of a wild chimpanzee with rhinophycomycosis entomophthorae is reported. The swellings remained unchanged for about a year but early in 1973 they increased greatly in size, making the animal virtually blind. They regressed following administration of two courses of iodide in massive doses, and the animal in now apparently pregnant.
