An ecological study was carried out on the fungal flora in the human lung of 159 autopsy cases. Fungi were isolated from 129 cases (81.1%). Filamentous fungi consisting of 918 strains were isolated from 113 cases, and the dominant genera were Aspergillus and Penicillium. Yeasts were isolated from 58 cases, and the dominant genus appeared to be Candida. With morbid anatomical study, the incidence of the fungus isolation was examined from various points of view. It was concluded that even a healthy respiratory parenchyma of the human lung cannot be assumed as aseptic. However, only a few numbers of a few genera of air-born fungi were isolated. Special stress was laid on the exposure of the respiratory parenchyma of the human lung to air-born fungi in connection with the pathogenesis of opportunistic fungus infections.
对159例尸检病例的人肺真菌区系进行了一项生态学研究。从129例（81.1%）中分离出真菌。从113例中分离出918株丝状真菌，优势菌属为曲霉属和青霉属。从58例中分离出酵母菌，优势菌属似乎是念珠菌属。通过病理解剖学研究，从多个角度检查了真菌分离的发生率。得出的结论是，即使是人类肺部健康的呼吸实质也不能被认为是无菌的。然而，仅分离出少数几种空气传播真菌的属。特别强调了人类肺部呼吸实质暴露于空气传播真菌与机会性真菌感染发病机制的关系。
