On a Tumor Caused by Yeast Cells in the Nasal Cavity and its Side Cavities of the Horse

Abstract

A report was presented on granulation growths located in the nasal jaw, and cranial cavities of a horse, caused by yeast cells. These growths were characterized by progressive growth in all age states. The active agent grown from the nasal secrete and from the tumor-like tissue proved to be a Blastomycete. Vaccination tests on mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, and horses had the positive result of making it possible to cause tumor-like formations in the tissue of two guinea pigs which proved to be Blastomycetes on the basis of culture and histological examination.
