L O White et al. Mycopathologia. .

Abstract

Chitin assay was used to measure Absidia ramosa infection in the brain and kidneys of cortisone-treated mice. Mice dying 3 days after challenge had brain and kidney infection but normal renal function as determined by measurement of blood urea levels. Mice dying 5 or 6 days after challenge had infection in the kidneys but not the brain and were uraemic.
