Abstract
Summary: The fluorescent materials present in human and cat hair as a result of infection with Microsporon canis, M. audouini and Trichophyton schoenleini were extracted with dilute ammonia. Paper chromatography and electrophoresis showed that the principal fluorescent material was common to all these infections and that further fluorescent substances were present in the extract from T. schoenleini infected hair. Chemical properties and absorption spectra of the extracts have been examined.
