Perhaps the best example of such an infection is coccidioidomycosis. In addition to the established pathogens, there are other agents, including Candida albicans, which we believe are pathogenic also.The problems in the diagnosis and treatment ofC. albicansinfections are manifold, and their solutions often obscure. It is the purpose of this paper to emphasize and clarify some of these problems by a review of the subject and by the presentation of six illustrative cases,...Bibliography1.
