title: Levamisole and autoimmunity in angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy.
abstract: A case of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AILD) with important autoimmune symptoms disappearing under Levamisole therapy is reported. Since Levamisole is thought to have no direct effect on B cells, it is supposed that in AILD it regulates B lymphocyte activity via the restoration of impaired T cell functions.
