Article Snippet: On both occasions, several colonies of B. ranarum were isolated on modified Sabouraud dextrose agar (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, Mich.), and microscopic examination of the urine sediment with a 10% potassium hydroxide–calcofluor white (0.1%) mount revealed broad, sparsely septate hyphal elements (Fig. A). fig ft0 fig mode=article f1 fig/graphic|fig/alternatives/graphic mode="anchored" m1 Open in a separate window fig/graphic|fig/alternatives/graphic mode="anchored" m1 Open in a separate window fig/graphic|fig/alternatives/graphic mode="anchored" m1 Open in a separate window FIG. 1 caption a7 (A) KOH-calcofluor white mount showing broad, nonseptate, branched hyphae of B. ranarum in urine sediment.
