254 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Castellania faecalis (Castellani) Dodge, n. comb. 



Endomyces faecalis Castellani, Brit. Med. Jour. 2: 1208-1212, 1912. 



Monilia faecalis Castellani, Jour. Trop. Med. Hyg. 17: 307, 1914. 



MyceloUastanon faecale Ota, Jap. Jour. Derm. Urol. 28: [4], 1928. 



Isolated from feces. 



On coagulated serum, growth forms a brownish pigment which diffuses 

 into the medium. Acid and fermentation with glucose, fructose, and maltose, 

 slightly acid and fermentation with galactose and sucrose. Litmus milk turns 

 acid, then is decolorized and slightly digested. Neither coagulated serum nor 

 gelatin liquefied. 



Castellania bronchialis (Castellani) Dodge, n. comb. 



Endomyces bronchialis Castellani, Brit. Med. Jour. 2: 1208-1212, 1912. 



Mycelohlastanon bronchiole Ota, Jap. Jour. Derm. Urol. 28: [4], 1928, 



Candida bronchialis Basgal, Contr. Estudo Blastomycoses Pulmonares, 49, 

 1931. 



Isolated from sputum. Probably the organism of Smith & Sano (1933) 

 from a case showing meningeal involvement should be referred here. 



Colonies white. Acid formation and fermentation with glucose, fructose, 

 and maltose, slight with sucrose. Acid onlj^ with dextrin. No action on milk, 

 coagulated serum, or gelatin. 



Castellania aegyptiaca (Khouri) Dodge, n. comb. 



Monilia uegyptiaca Khouri, Bull. Soc. Path. Exot. 26: 7-9, 1933. 



Isolated from sputum mixed with blood from case of pulmonary blasto- 

 mycosis. No trace of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, no blood parasites, Was- 

 sermann reaction negative. Organism slightly pathogenic for guinea pig. 



Spherical or ovoid cells with occasional hyphae observed in the sputum. 

 Long hyphae with elongate-ovoid blastospores in cultures. No ascospores. 



On Sabouraud agar, colony creamy white, confluent, cells 3-8 average bp. 

 in diameter, rarely sprouting. Optimum temperature 36°-37° C. Cells gram- 

 positive. On carrot and potato, colonies creamy white. On liquid media, no 

 pellicle, floccose sediment, no pigment. Litmus milk acidified, coagulated 

 slowly after seventh day and curd slowly digested. Glucose, fructose, maltose, 

 and sucrose fermented and acidified; galactose and raffinose also acidified. 

 Neutral red reduced. Serum and gelatin not liquefied. 



Castellania Rogerii (Sartory & Demanche) Dodge, n. comb. 



Cryptococcus sp. Demanche & Sartory, C. R. Soc. Biol. 63: 261-262, 1907, 



Cryptococcus Rogerii Sartory & Demanche, Bull. Soc. Myc. France 23: 

 179-185, 1907. 



Torulopsis Rogerii Almeida, Annaes Fac. Med. Sao Paulo 9: 10, 1933. 



Isolated from pus in a case of peritonitis following perforation of the 

 stomach. 



Cells elongate, 8-10 x 2-3/^, sprouting. Pseudomycelium present. No 

 spores. Optimum temperature for growth 30°-35° C, no growth over 41° C,
