Acladium castellanii Pinoy and the existence of the so-called acladiosis of Castellani
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
Previous records and descriptions of the fungus known as Acladium castellanii, a human pathogen in the south-east of Asia and Europe and in Brazil, are cited and an account is given of its morphology when studied in culture on organic media.
It is concluded that it is closely related to, and perhaps merely a strain of, the widely distributed Sporotrichum schencki, the commonest cause of human and equine sporotrichosis, and that the term acladiosis as denominating a distinct disease should be deleted.
