| Popis: | We would like to thank Dr. W. Hughes for his stimulating comment on our paper on "Cephalosporium Meningitis." It is true that the term "yeast-like" organisms was misleading, as the elements seen on the direct smear were not budding cells but elliptical spores. In our patient, as Dr. Hughes mentions, Candida albicans was isolated from the nose, throat, and rectal cultures but not from the Cerebrospinal fluid. We were led to believe cephalosporium was the etiologic agent of the disease in this baby because the same elliptical spores, distinct from C. albicans, have been isolated in two different CSF cultures taken with all possible precautions for accidental contamination. |
