6. MONILIASIS 



This disease syndrome embraces a number of manifestations which 

 until recently were considered to be unrelated. Although the skin is the 

 most common site, the infection may invade the lungs and, rarely, other 

 organs. The causative fungus is a yeastlike organism, Monilia ( Candida) 

 albicans. 



(a) Historical survey.— In 1839 Langcnbeck demonstrated fungi in 

 material taken from a patient with thrush. Robin published a description 

 of the micro-organism in 1843 and named it Oidium albicans. The vari- 

 ous manifestations of the disease were recognized and studied by different 

 investigators, and an involved nomenclature came into use. Through 

 the work of Kaufman-Wolf, Fabry, Kumer, Ravaut, Hopkins. Benham 

 and others, the relationships of the various rashes and conditions have 

 been better understood. Schambcrg, in 1915, was one ol the first in the
