Fungous infections have a tendency to induce hypersensitive states. This outstanding characteristic is found in the superficial and deep mycoses. These allergic conditions are frequently manifested by eruptions called ids. The trichophytids and moniliids (or levurids) are well known. Sporotrichids in sporotrichosis have been described by de Beurmann.1 The erythema nodosum which is often associated with primary coccidioidomycosis may be considered the id in this disease. Thus, fungous infections present problems of immunology that are peculiar to themselves, although they are perhaps related to diseases such as tuberculosis and syphilis, in which ids also occur.
The present concepts of the hypersensitive states, the allergy of infection, have been developed to a greater extent from microbian diseases than from mycotic infections. Because of the relative infrequency of deep mycotic infections, it is difficult to obtain sufficient material for analysis. As a result, interpretations of the immunologic reactions between the host
