During the physical exam small lesions, not larger than 7 mm, were observed in the distal portion of the soft palate, laterally to the choanae, compatible with oral candidiasis. <em>Candida lusitanea</em> was the agent isolated from the exudate that was removed from the lesions. This is the first reported case of <em>C. lusitanea</em> associated to oral candidiasis and the first time this bird species was associated with this agent.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Advanced Veterinary Research}, author={Garcês, Andreia and Lopes, Ricardo and Salinas, Delsy and Carreira, Mariana and Infante, Samuel and Lopes, Ana and Silveira, Inês and Claudino, Sofia and Silva, Augusto and Brilhante-Simões, Paula}, year={2022}, month={Jun.}, pages={321-323} }
