title: [Adherence in vitro of Candida albicans to cheek mucous membrane cells in children with immune disorders].
abstract: Evaluation regarded adherence of a strain of Candida albicans to epithelium of cheek mucous membrane, obtained from 31 children aged between one and 14 years with disturbance of immunity and from 10 healthy children. All children were tested immunologically by determination of total leukocytosis, granulocytosis, absolute lymphocytosis, active and total rosette tests, spontaneous and stimulated nitroblue-tetrazolium (NBT) tests and immunoglobulin A, G and M levels in serum. Adherence of C. albicans in vitro of epithelial cells of cheek mucous membrane was significantly higher in children with disturbance of immunity as compared with healthy control group (p < 0.001).
