The conidiospore of Curvularia geniculata was observed in the bronchial washings of a patient who subsequently developed pulmonary aspergillosis. Curvularia geniculata was grown in culture and used in experiments in mice to explore its possible role as a disease causing agent. The fungus, after intraperitoneal injection, produced granulomas in the liver and spleen. Studies on the pathogenicity of this fungus in mice produced similar lesions to those observed in the human case. A comparison of the lesions in the patient's lung and in the animal experimental model is presented.
在一名随后发展为肺曲霉病的患者的支气管灌洗物中观察到膝曲弯孢霉的分生孢子。将膝曲弯孢霉进行培养，并用于小鼠实验，以探究其作为致病因子的可能作用。该真菌经腹腔注射后，在肝脏和脾脏中产生肉芽肿。对这种真菌在小鼠中的致病性研究产生了与人类病例中观察到的类似病变。本文对患者肺部病变与动物实验模型中的病变进行了比较。
