Tonsillitis,1conjunctivitis, bronchitis,2cutaneous lesions,3ulcerative rectal lesions,4pulmonary diseases5and septicemia6, 7have been attributed to the organism. Two cases of Geotrichum septicemia are reported in an infant and in a debilitated aged individual.6-7With these exceptions the English literature has been concerned mainly with bronchopulmonary geotrichosis. In 1934 Smith8reported five cases, two pulmonary and three bronchial. In 1946 Kunstadter, Pendergrass, and Schubert9reported one case of pulmonary and two of bronchial geotrichosis.
