Fig. 27. — Histoplasma pyriforme. 1-7, mycelium sliowing' variation on various media 

 8, 10, 11, terminal tuberculate cells, probably degenerate asci ; 9, conidium ; 12, IS, lateral tuber-

First seen in tissues by Darling, first cultures by Monbreun (1934) from 

 case by Dodd & Tompkins (1934), also studied by Moore (1934). Pathogenic 

 to Macacus rhesus. 



In tissues, cells spherical or ovoid, 1-4 x 3/a, with a thick capsule, budding 

 in the tissues (Rocha Lima, 1912, 1913). This form persists when kept on 

 blood and serum media at 37° C. and transferred at short intervals. In other
