Methods The home visits were made by either or both of us; the laboratory work was the responsibility of one (MPE). Methods differed from those of the T. rubrum survey (English, 1957) in only two ways. Scrapings were taken from all subjects, not only from those with lesions; and hands were not examined, as five years' experience in the skin clinic of Bristol General Hospital had failed to discl6se a single case of T. mentagrophytes infection of the hands.Cross-infection Out of the 22 school families a single contact was infected in each of three; in 19 families no spread of infection had occurred. In the 19 clinic families spread of infection had occurred in eight and in four of these the spread was to two contacts, in the others to one (Table I).
