Abstract
Intravenous injections of Sporotrichum schenckii to mice produced miliary lesions in several internal organs, especially in the liver, and in the muscles of the hind legs when the animals were kept at a low ambient temperature of 2–5°C. Mice kept at 13–17°C, developed lesions in the muscles of the hind legs but not in the liver and internal organs. Amphotericin-B, 0.04 mg., daily, intraperitoneally for 10 days prevented the myositis in the animals kept at 13–17°C, but not in those kept at 2–5°C. La inoculación intravenosa de Sporotrichum schenckii a lauchas produjo lesiones miliares en varios órganos internos, especialmente en el hígado, así como en los músculos de las patas posteriores cuando los animales fueron colocados en ambiente a baja temperatura: 2–5°C. En las lauchas en ambiente a 13–17°C. se desarrollaron lesiones en los músculos de las patas posteriores pero no en el hígado y órganos internos. La anfotericina-B en dosis diaria intraperitoneal de 0.04 mg. administrada durante 10 días impidió la miositis en los animales colocados a 13–17°C. pero no en los colocados a 2–5°C.Keywords
