ABSTRACT
A preliminary survey of fungus infections in Jamaica is presented. No organisms of serious pathogenic significance have been isolated from sputum submitted for tuberculosis examination. Coccidioides immitis and Blastomyces dermatitidis however, have been isolated from sputum that were received for fungus examination. Dermatophytosis is the most common clinical condition, while the incidence of serious systemic infections appear to be rare. Microsporum audouini is the organism most frequently isolated in cases of Tinea capitis. Tinea corporis and Tinea pedis are relatively common and there has been three cases of chromoblastomycosis. Aspergillus fumigatus associated with otomycosis and Cryptococcus neoformans in a case of meningitis have been isolated from pus (AU)
