TLDR
Criteria for a diagnosis of primary cutaneous infection with a fungus capable of causing pulmonary mycosis are suggested, with history of traumatic inoculation and subsequent development of a chancriform lesion.Abstract:
THE criteria suggested by several investigators1 , 2 as necessary to establish a diagnosis of primary cutaneous infection with a fungus capable of causing pulmonary mycosis are as follows: history of traumatic inoculation, with subsequent development of a chancriform lesion within three or four weeks at the point of trauma; evidence that the wound was contaminated with the causative fungus; development of lymphangitis and regional lymphadenopathy; no history or clinical or laboratory evidence of previous pulmonary or systemic mycosis; and conversion of the skin test from negative to positive and rising serologic titer (where applicable). This sequence of events, which Wilson3 calls . . .read more

Laboratory-associated infections and biosafety.
TL;DR: A review of the history, causes, and methods for prevention of laboratoryassociated infections can be found in this paper, where the authors examine the history and causes of laboratory-associated infections, as well as the initial step in a biosafety program is the assessment of risk to the employee.

Progressive disseminated histoplasmosis as seen in adults
TL;DR: Of 530 patients with a diagnosis of active histoplasmosis, twenty-five had progressive disseminated disease and the efficacy of treatment with amphotericin B is attested to by the fact that mortality in the untreated group was 100% and in the adequately treated group only 7 per cent.

TL;DR: Nodular lymphangitis in association with recrudescent inflammation at the original wound site differentiates rat-bite fever due to Spirillum minor from the similar illness caused by Streptobacillus moniliformis.

Primary cutaneous North American blastomycosis.
TL;DR: It has been widely accepted that this sharp differentiation occurs because of variation in the portal of entry of the infection, direct inoculation of the organisms into the skin causing the chronic cutaneous type, and inhalation into the lungs resulting in death.

TL;DR: A case of primary cutaneous histoplasmosis which resulted from direct inoculation of the fungus through the skin is reported, which is a rare and always fatal disease.

TL;DR: Each of two Filipino agricultural workers experienced coccidioidal infection, characterized by a solitary skin lesion, by regional lymphadenopathy, and by a benign clinical course, without evidence of involvement of the lungs or other viscera, believed to be cases of primary cutaneous cocCidioidomycosis incurred under "natural" conditions.

TL;DR: A case of primary cutaneous Nocardia brasiliensis infection resembling sporotrichosis is reported, and the clinical appearance and benign course were in keeping with the concept of thePrimary cutaneous (chancriform) syndrome of deep mycoses described by Wilson.
