MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Yeast cells spherical, 5/a in diameter, or ovoid with some raquet mycelium, 

 producing single blastospores at the septa. Mycelium not highly developed, 

 hyphal cells 5/* in diameter, walls somewhat thickened. 



On malt agar, colony grayish or yellowish, smooth, center granular, with 

 slight rays or fine folds. On malt extract, producing a thick grayish ring 

 with sediment. By Lindner method, reported to ferment glucose, fructose, 

 mannose, galactose, and maltose, but no action on sucrose, lactose, or raffinose. 



Myco Candida parapsilosis (Ashford) Dodge, n. comb. 



Monilia parapsilosis Ashford, Am. Jour. Trop. Med. 8: 518. 1928. 



Candida parapsilosis Camargo, Agentes Etiologicos do Sapinho 58, 1934. 



Nonpathogenic to guinea pigs and rabbits. 



Produces growth of fir tree shape along gelatin stab. Maltose not fer- 

 mented. Gelatin not liquefied.

Isolated from paronychomycosis. Probably organism of Connor (1933) 

 should be referred here. 



In pus cells spherical hyaline 3-5/^, same cells seen in nails. 



Cells spherical or slightly ovoid uniguttulate, solitary or in chains, mostly 

 3.5-5iU in diameter; in older cultures mycelium present. Somewhat sparingly 

 branched, septate, hyaline, 2-S/x in diameter, branches cylindric. terminal cell
