Main autopsy findings were rumenitis, anemia and dehydration. Histopathologically, noteworthy lesions were invasion of fungi in to muscle through the mucosa and blood vessels of the rumen, intestinal catarrh, changes in glomeruli and degeneration of the epithelia of convoluted tubules and loops of Henle in the kidney, and catarrhal suppurative pneumonia. Embolus was recognized in the lung and seemed to have been caused by hyphae or spores.
