Human Torulosis

HAROLD K. FABER

Interest in the pathogenic mycoses has been steadily increasing during the past three decades, particularly in those which cause disease of the central nervous system, lungs and bones. Pediatricians are especially concerned with certain varieties, notably coccidioidomycosis and histoplasmosis, which may at times be confused with tuberculosis. Torulosis is another example which deserves close attention. Interest was first attracted to it in this country in 1916 by Stoddard and Cutler whose work appeared as one of the early monographs of the Rockefeller Institute. Their study was based on two cases, both with meningitis, and included experimental reproduction of the disease in animals. Four other cases were discovered by them in the literature.
