MEDICAL MYCOLOGY 



Originally described as producing mycetoma pedis in Madagascar. Fon- 

 toynont & Carougeau, m litt, published by Beurmann & Gougerot, Arch, de 

 Parasitol. 15: 13, 1911, state that it was an impurity found in a secondary 

 infection of a lesion of a different nature. 



Hyphae branched, septate, l.Sfx. in diameter, scarcely fuliginous, discrete 

 or fasciculate, and then ascending or erect. Conidia oblong or ovoid, short 

 pedicellate, fuliginous, 4-7 x 3-3.5/*, solitary on hyi^hae, occasionally or fre- 

 quently with denticulate apex, cylindric or rarely nodose. The fasciculate 

 hyphae simulate Graphium (Fig. 123). 



Sporotrichum lipsiense Benedek, Derm. Woch. 83: 1770-1777, 1926. 



Isolated from various superficial epidermal lesions accompanied by pru- 

 ritus and intertrigo.

Mycelium septate, 2-4/x, mostly 3/a, in diameter, cells 8-12/1, long, occasion- 

 ally 20-28/x. No differentiated conidiophores, spores lateral or terminal ovoid 

 and almost pyriform, becoming spherical after abjunction, sessile or with a 

 short slender sterigma, 3-4/a in diameter. Chlamydospores 4 x 5-8 x 12/a. 

 Sprouting forms 6 x 6-5 x Sfi, hyaline. Cultural optimum temperature 18°- 

 20°, growth ceasing at 25° C. On glucose agar, glycerol, potato or glycerol 

 carrot, growth gray white, dull, moist, flat, becoming rough from tufts of 

 hyphae and finally white velvety. Ferments glycerol and mannitol, not dul- 

 citol, glucose, galactose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, dextrin, starch, or 

 inulin.
