Sera of 2017 subjects were tested by the slide-agglutination method for the presence of agglutinins to Candida albicans. 638 (31·6%) were positive, and more females than males had positive sera.

The results are reported of quantitative agglutinin estimations in 501 subjects, 121 of whom were known to be infected with C. albicans.

The significance of C. albicans agglutinins is discussed.
