Experimental maduromycosis

Abstract

Intraperitoneal and subcutaneous lesions were produced in 17 out of 22 mice, sensitized by repeated subcutaneous injections of P. jeanselmei in FREUND'S complete adjuvant. The lesions were essentially self-limiting as were those described by us earlier in cortisone-treated mice. Precipitating antibodies and cutaneous hypersensitivity could not be demonstrated.
