[10 new clinical cases of mycoses caused by Entomophorales in Cameroon].

Authors describe ten new cases of Entomophthoromycosis in Cameroon. In four cases of subcutaneous phycomycosis, Basidiobolus meristoporus was isolated in one case. In six cases of rhino-entomophthoromycosis, we have obtained by culture two Basidiobolus meristoporus and one Entomophthora coronata. In Cameroon, rhino-entomophthoromycosis may be caused by the two species Basidiobolus meristoporus and Entomophthora coronata.

[Histopathological study on the course of a dermatophytic disease].

Histological study of cutaneous biopsies of an algerian girl with a "dermatophytic disease" (cf. supra Marill and al.). During the six first years of evolution diagnosis of mycosis had not been made for no specific fungus staining was done, but the fungus was present in the tissues. Vesicular forms and few filaments were seen in the first biopsies but polymorphism increased with the time and filaments became predominant and very abundant at the end of the disease.

[Myospherulosis: a riddle asked by strange bags of marbles. A report of four cases (author's transl)].

Four cases of "myospherulosis" are presented with a review of the thirty cases previously reported in the litterature. The disease is characterized by clusters of spherules, surrounded by a thin membranous bag, within a multicystic reaction of muscular and subcutaneous tissue or of paranasal sinuses. The actual nature of these spherules still remains unknown. Several pathogenic hypothesis are suggested.
