Dr. Tsuneo Takada, 30, took samples of Ohishi's digestive juices. In them microbiologists found a flourishing growth of a yeastlike fungus, Candida (or Monilia) albicans, occasional cause of human infections, but usually in the mouth or the vagina. In a normal gut, Candida may occur without causing fermentation. But in Ohishi's repaired bowel there was a little pocket where the Candida hid, multiplied, and busily fermented...
