Abstract
Prototheca organisms, histologically resembling Prototheca wickerhamii, were found in a fruit bat as a cause of a massive granulomatous lymphadenitis and splenitis and a widespread granulomatous meningoencephalitis. Focal lesions were also present in the myocardium, in skeletal muscles, and in the kidneys.
