Underthe microscope these filaments resem-ble very closely those found in actinomy-cosis. When fresh the filaments have athin cell-wall and contain a finely granu-lar protoplasm. Neither spores nor mo-tion of the filaments can be seen. Themain difference between them and thoseof actinomycosis is the rapidity with whichthey take up aniline stains. Some filamentsare slightly bulbous at their extremity, al-though no spores have been detected at thispoint. The mycelia are brittle and break up fig. in podelcoma, fragmentinto short pieces. These observers also of a colony (Vincent), place the fungus in the streptothrix group. Diagnosis.—By many authors this disease is regarded as identical w
