Experimental maduromycosis. II. Experimental mycetoma in mice caused by repeated injections of Phialophora jeanselmei.
Intraperitoneal and subcutaneous lesions were produced in 17 out of 22 mice, sensitized by repeated subcutaneous injections of P. jeanselmei in FREUND'S complete adjuvant. The lesions were essentially self-limiting as were those described by us earlier in cortisone-treated mice. Precipitating antibodies and cutaneous hypersensitivity could not be demonstrated.
