We say operators $A, B$ on Hilbert space satisfy Fuglede-Putnam theorem if $AX=XB$ for some $X$ implies $A^{*}X=XB^{*}$. We show that if either (1) $A$ is $p$-hyponormal and $B^{*}$ is a class $ {\mathcal Y}$ operator or (2) $A$ is a class $ {\mathcal Y}$ operator and $B^{*}$ is $p$-hyponormal, then $A, B$ satisfy Fuglede-Putnam theorem.

Keywords: $p$-hyponormal operator, class ${\mathcal Y}$, Fuglede-Putnam theo-rem
