Abstract

Abstract Results obtained in examining 193 sputum specimens for Histoplasma capsulatum with use of the direct culture and mouse inoculation methods have been presented. Twelve or 6.2 per cent of the 193 specimens were positive for Histoplasma capsulatum by the mouse inoculation method, while only 4 or 2.1 per cent were positive by direct culture. A method for the preparation of sputum to be inoculated into mice has been described.
