AB  - The present report documents a case of acute aspergillosis 
  and bacillosis in a canary in which the bacillus and fungal colonization was 
  confined to the trachea and lung. A male canary was presented to clinic with 
  a history of the presence of watery diarrhea and swelling in the left intertarsal 
  joint without weight bearing. Supportive care was attempted but the bird did 
  not improve and 48 h after beginning of respiratory signs, the bird died. At 
  necropsy, symmetric necrotic zone were seen in the junction of syrinx to lung. 
  The trachea was edematous and congested. The intestine was edematous and dilated. 
  Histopathologic examination of lungs and trachea revealed infiltrative reactions 
  of aspergillosis. Fungal hyphae with dichotomous divisions characteristic of 
  aspergilli were clearly demonstrated in the trachea and lung by PAS and H&amp;E 
  stains. The pinkish amorphous material in the spleen was demonstrated to be 
  amyloid with Congo red stain. Isospora life stages in the enterocytes were detected.
