OBSERVACIONES SOBRE CHMELIA SLOVACA

Resumen

La cepa original es una dematiacca estéril que licúa la gelatina, y es
morfológicamente diferente de los agentes de cromomicosis conocidos. Su
temperatura óptima yace entre 15 y 25 grados y la máxima entre 33 y 35
grados. Inoculada al peritoneo de 11 ratones, dejó de existir a las tres
semanas. Inoculada a la dermis de la rodilla de un hombre, produjo
inflamación superativa aguda y se extinguió en 8 - 11 días. Los autores no
han podido estudiar material patológico original; mientras tanto, ellos
consideran improbable que Chmelia sloveca pueda producir cromomicosis.
7. SUMMARY
The original strain, as seen by the authors, is a sterile dematiaceous
mold with ability for liquefying gelatin. Its optimal growing temperature lies
between 15 °C and 25 ºC; its maximal one lies between 33 °C and 35 °C. Its
macro and microscopical forms are very different from those corresponding
to the species known as agents of chromomycosis.
When inyected peritoneally to white mice, Chmelia slovaca did not
undergo any modification and became extinguished after 3 weeks. When
inyected intradermally to man, it became extinguished between 8 and 11
days, after producing an acute, suppurative, cutaneous inflammation.

Original pathological material could not be obtained for study by the
authurs, in whose opinion it is improbable that Chmelza slovaca be shown
some day as a true agent of chromomycosis.
