The isolation of Phoma eupyrena from a human lesion.

A strain of the soil-borne fungus Phoma eupyrena was isolated from the skin of an 18-month-old boy who had a crusting, erythematous, perioral eruption of one month's duration. Treatment with clotrimazole, 15% zinc oxide paste, and dimethicone resulted in eradication of the fungus and in complete healing of the lesions in eight weeks.

Pulmonary allescheriasis: report of a case from Ontario, Canada.

A case of pulmonary allescheriasis in a 53-year-old woman residing in London, Ontario, Canada, is described. This patient entered the hospital complaining of dyspnea, a productive cough, and pains in the neck and left shoulder. Roentgenograms of the chest revealed a large cavity in the upper lobe of the right lung, and xerograms showed an intracavitary mycetoma. Monosporium apiospermum, the imperfect form of the fungus Allescheria boydii, was grown from her sputum and from the mycetoma as well. Treatment with amphotericin B had no effect on the infection, and the upper lobe of the right lung was resected. The cough cleared completely and the patient made an excellent recovery. This case of pulmonary allescheriasis once again emphasizes that the most satisfactory form of treatment available at present for this mycosis is surgical excision of the infected area.

A xanthine-negative, melibiose-positive species of Streptomyces.

The organism VH/CN-71 which had been isolated from a growth in a cat and described initially as an "unusual strain of Nocardia" is a streptomycete. This organism can also produce acid from melibiose although it is unable to decompose xanthine. Its sporophores are short, hooked, curved, or open-looped with extended spirals. Present data suggest that VH/CN-71 may belong to the "flavus" series of Streptomyces.
