Fungicide Reported Cures Progressive Histoplasmosis in Children
Dr Amos Christie of Vanderbilt school of medicine reported in a paper to the American Pediatrics Society that a wartime fungicide ethyl vanillate, derived from paper mill waste liquor, cured five children at Vanderbilt Hospital of progressive histoplasmosis. Twelve cases treated at the hospital in 18 months included five cures and six advanced failures, with one case potentially curable if treatment had been available earlier. Victims are mainly infants or children under two, with rare adult cases.
