[Morphogenesis of experimental primary pulmonary coccidioidal mycosis].

Morphogenesis of experimental primary pulmonary coccidioidomycosis in white mice was studied. The aspirated particles of the mycelium by the 5th day formed sporilating sporangiums, the latter being the main cause of a specific inflammatory process. Three stages in the development of the infectious process were singled out: incubation, in the course of which accumulation of the pathogene in the lungs took place (the first seven days), initiation and progressing of pneumonia, culminated with the animals' perish in the course of 12-14 days.
