[Blastomyces infestation of vagina, oral cavity, and rectum of young women, with particular reference to promiscuity (author's transl)].

Venereological patients (Group I, n = 210), intact women without any gynaecological disease (Group II, n = 125), pregnant women close to full term (Group III, n = 200), and women with vaginal fluor (Group IV, n = 380) were examined and compared for the occurrence of blastomyces, particularly Candida albicans (C. albicans), in the vagina, oral cavity, and rectum. The presence of C. albicans in vaginal secretion was established from 15.7 per cent of all probands in Group I, 12.0 per cent in Group II, 24.0 per cent in Group III, and 31.6 per cent in Group IV. The difference between Groups I and II was not significant. Promiscuity, consequently, did not seem to have major impact upon vaginal blastomyces infestation of young women. Probands with rectal infestation of C. albicans accounted for figures between 20.0 and 27.5 per cent in all four groups. Group I took first position in oral infestation of C. albicans, the figure being 64.8 per cent which was significantly above those recorded from all other groups, between 33.9 and 37.5 per cent. The correlations between rectal and vaginal occurrence of C. albicans are discussed.

[Spontaneous transformation in LTT of patients with atopic dermatitis and other allergic skin diseases (author's transl)].

Increased spontaneous transformation rates have been repeatedly found in the LTT of patients with neurodermits or other diseases. We were interested in the question, if they are to induce artificially. On 37 voluntary persons the LTT was performed before, 24, 48 hours and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after an intracutaneous injection of 0,1 ml of Candidin. On 19 test persons a statistically significant and on further 4 a distinct increase of spontaneous transformed cells in the LTT was to record compared with the culture before the injection of the antigen. This phenomenon was only to detect on low levels of spontaneous transformation (to 3%) in the initial culture. The importance of this observation is discussed in regard to immunological processes in the organism during an antigen exposition as well as to its relation with the evaluation of the LTT.
