Cultures were taken from the tangential type of two weeksgrowth. The guinea-pig inoculated from the culture obtainedfrom the cat showed, on the eighth day, an erythematous patch,which, on the tenth day, was well marked and circular, with ac- 232 A. D. MEWBORN cumulation of epidermic scales. At the end of two weeks theringworm was typical, and presented almost the same aspect asin the cat, i. e. stubby hairs, red and thickened skin, with powder-like spores and scales. The epilated hairs showed typical mosaicof spores. A section of skin taken from the patch showed, onstaining in the microscopical section, the same ectothrix sheath ofsmall spores. In addition, specially well marked in the downyhairs, were endothrix chains of mycelium; not slender filaments,but larger even than the spores comprising the sheath. The guinea pig inoculated from the culture of the case of MissX developed a patch of ringworm at the end of two weeks, inText Appearing After Image:Fig. IX.âMicrosporon felineum (E. aged 10).

All theforegoing data were useful in tracing the source of infection to amicrosporon of the cat in the following two cases. Case II.âE., aged ten years, the daughter of well-to-do par-ents, came under the care of Dr. P. A. Morrow, for an obstinateringworm of the scalp as well as two circinate patches on theneck. Some of the suspected hairs were sent to me for an exami- RINGWORM 233 nation, and under the miscroscope the hairs presented the typicalappearance of the Microsporon Audouini. Pure cultures on mal-tose-lactose agar in Erlenmeyer flasks gave, at the end of twoweeks, the typical rapid growth with concentNote About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
