Certain of these mycotic infections, such as coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, actinomycosis, blastomycosis and cryptococcosis, have attracted more attention because their causative organisms are infinitely more often pathogenic. On the contrary, the monilia, which are natural saprophytes and normal inhabitants of the mouth, throat and respiratory passages, are only potentially and occasionally pathogenic to the host,1, 2, 3and therefore their exact etiologic relationship in any disease is not easy to establish. Actually, there are writers who seriously doubt that moniliasis of the...Bibliography1. ConantMartinSmithBakerCalloway NFDSDTRDJL: Manual of clinical mycology, 1945, W. B. Saunders Co., Philadelphia.
