Several children at a summer camp have lesions on their feet along with infected toe and finger nails.  The organism has an olive/brown surface with a yellow periphery and a pale yellow reverse. Microscopically, smooth 2-4 celled club-shaped macroconidia and no microconidia are observed. This organism is most likely (M59-17, 21; Level 3):

A culture from a chronic interdigital lesion of the foot grew a mold that is yellow to buff on the surface with a red-brown reverse, rare pencil-shaped macroconidia, and numerous microconidia in grapelike clusters.  The organism is also positive for both urease and in-vitro hair perforation.  This organism is most likely:

A Davidsohn differential demonstrated agglutination with sheep red blood cells after adsorption with guinea-pig kidney cells but not after adsorption with beef red blood cells. In addition, the serum was anti-VCA IgM negative, anti-VCA IgG positive, anti EA-IgG positive, and anti-EBNA positive. What is the most likely diagnosis:

A patient with respiratory allergies develops a persistent cough and fever.  The fungus that is isolated from this patient displays numerous macroconidia which chain together, with both longitudinal and transverse cross-walls and dark pigmentation.  The most likely organism involved is (M27-17; M27-21; Level 3):
