Abstract
IN 1956, Lie Kian Joe et al. 1 reported two cases of a curious subcutaneous granuloma in children in Indonesia. The tissues showed a characteristic histological picture in the midst of which lay fungus filaments with occasional septa. From one case they isolated many colonies of a phycomycete, Basidiobolus, not hitherto known to infect mammals. Later this group of workers has reported three more cases2; Basidiobolus was isolated from two of them and an unidentified phycomycete from the third. A sixth case, probably infected in Indonesia, has been recognized by biopsy examination in England3.
