298 MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Isolated from an interdigital mycosis of the feet, persistent over 2 years 

 under a variety of treatments. Intravenous injection into rabbit produced 

 rapidly fatal septicemia or pyemia with metastatic abscesses and generalized 

 peritoneal infection. 



Hyphae, pseudomycelium, and sprout cells present. 



Colonies white, spreading, creamy, shining, smooth or with center slightly 

 folded and surrounded by a smooth zone. 



Monilia Montoyai Castellani & Chalmers, Man. Trop. Med. ed. 2, 1514, 

 1913 (nomen nudum). 



Isolated from red pinta.

 1922, non Castellaiii. 



Parendomyces pulmonalis Plant apud Mautner, Centralbl, Bakt. I, 74: 207- 

 208, 1914. [Case history in Wiener Med. Woch. 64: Col. 1055-1067, 1914.]

 haps Monilia pidmonalis of Castellani). 



Monilia Mautneri Nannizzi, Tratt. Micopat. Umana [Pollacci] 4: 366, 367, 

 1934. 



Isolated from sputum. Not pathogenic to rabbit. 



Spores smaller than in Monilia Candida Bonorden. No mycelium. 



Monilia Samboni Castellani, Proc. R. Soc. Med. (Derm.) 6: 36, 1912. 



Saccharom.yces Samboni Castellani & Chalmers, Man. Trop. Med. ed. 2, 768, 

 1913. 



Isolated in intertriginous dermatitis of scrotocrural and axillary regions. 

 Skin reddens with possibly slight exudation, borders marked but not elevated. 

 Little pruritus. Treatment : KMn04 solution, 1 :4,000, or resorcin, 1 :100, 

 followed by dusting with a powder composed of boric acid and talc. 



Cells 6-8^ in diameter. Colonies white, rapidly confluent. 



Monilia vaginalis Escomel, Bull. Soc. Path. Exot. 17: 922, 1924. 



Endomyces sp. Carpano, Ann. Ig. Sperim. 22: 435-450, PI. 10, 1912. 



Isolated from pleuropulmonitis in a horse. Disease reproduced in rabbit 

 and guinea pig. 



In liquid from lungs, cells very variable in size and shape, reaching a 

 maximum length of 20-25/a, usually 16-20 x 5-7/*, spherical or ovoid cells about 

 4-6/x, longer cells often cylindric or nearly so, often united into groups of 2 

 or 3, or more rarely into short simple or branched hyphae up to 200/x long. 



Attempts to isolate were unsuccessful on most media tried, due to an ac- 

 tively growing Streptococcus, but cultures on potato and potato agar were 

 successful. On potato, colony shining, dirty gray becoming brownish in age. 

 On potato agar, whitish, bright, then graying as the colony thickens. Cells 

 spherical to slightly ovoid, 3-4/a in diameter in 15 days. 



Characters intermediate between Saccharomycopsis guttulatus and Zymo- 

 nema farciminosum.
