It is possible that good results would have been achieved with iodides alone; but the fact that the response was only "fair" after one week of iodides and "strikingly improved" after one week with griseofulvin cannot be overlooked. This improvement was more than coincidence. The use of griseofulvin in a series of cases of deep mycosis, particularly sporotrichosis, is warranted. Further reports may indicate its efficacy as a therapeutic agent in this class of infection.
