Abstract
Antigens were prepared from four of the commonest organisms capable of causing mycetoma. By double diffusion in agar precipitating antibodies were demonstrated in all sera of humans (69) and animals (12) infected with these organisms. The antigens were entirely specific as between fungus and aerobic actinomycete, though there was cross reactivity between different species of the latter. Des antigènes sont préparés à partir des 4 agents les plus fréquents de mycétomes. Par la méthode de double diffusion en gélose, on a pu montrer la présence d'anticorps précipitants chez 69 malades et 12 animaux infectés par ces organismes. La spécificité antigénique est complète entre champignon et actinomycète aérobie, mais il y a des réactions croisées entre les différentes espèces d'actinomycètes.Keywords
