Abstract:

With respect to clinical research, diagnosis of fungi was made on smear samples by the cotton swab method directly from the site of infection. In the microscopic examination with the Gram stain difficulties are often encountered in the diagnosis and the present method makes a simple diagnosis possible from the standpoint of materials which do not give rise to antigen- antibody reactions according to the specificity of reaction making examination impossible.
