title: [Mycotic mastitis in cattle].
abstract: The literature on aetiology, diagnosis, symptoms, therapy and prognosis of mycotic mastitis in cows is reviewed. The importance of identification of the causative agent for the prognosis is discussed. Some cases of (candida) mastitis recover spontaneously: however, spontaneous recovery or recovery after therapy for mastitis caused by Cryptococcus or Prototheca is rare. Frequent milking of infected teats is important during treatment of mycotic mastitis. If supportive pharmacotherapy is desired, antimycotic drugs could be appropriate, however there is no clear evidence of the effectiveness of this therapy.
