摘要：Guinea pigs inoculated intratracheally with Candida albicans , a facultative pathogen of upper respiratory tract of miners, and iron ore dust did not produce extensive pulmonary fibrosis and the reaction chiefly consisted of thickened inter-alveolar septa at the termination of experiment (180 days). The poor fibrogenic response observed has been suggested to be the inhibitory effect of possibly the soluble fraction of iron ore on the growth of C. albicans .
