摘要：

A survey of 84 dust samples from 42 air-conditioners and controls was conducted at Kansas State University, Manhattan. Isolations of C. neoformans and H. capsulatum were attemped using various mycological procedures. H. capsulatum was not recovered in this survey. One isolate of C. neoformans was obtained. The contaminated air-conditioner yielding the organism contained considerable bird feces, feathers, and dust. © 1969 Dr. W. Junk N.V. den Haag.
