• Abstract: In recent years, there has been an increase in the occurrence of fungal diseases in domestic animals, attributed to environmental and management changes. In horses, these infections affect various systems, with the respiratory system being the most critical and potentially fatal. Primary fungal pneumonia in horses is rare, as healthy animals typically fight off the infection. However, when it does occur, diagnosing and treating the disease is challenging, with a frequently reserved prognosis. This study aims to review the causes, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and available treatments for fungal pneumonia in horses.
