title: [Histochemical study of lesions in superficial and visceral candidiasis].
abstract: Mycotic foci were studied histochemically on various experimental models of candidiasis. NAD-H, NADP-H-diaphorase, acid phosphatase and ATPase were revealed in the fungi, the activity of these enzymes depended on the state of the fungus. Diaphorase activity in the mucous membrane epithelium falls only if it is damaged by massive invasion of pseudo-mycelium. Inhibition of the enzyme activity in the visceral foci (kidney, liver, heart) occurs only in case of pronounced destruction and is not observed at the distance from the fungi. The results do not confirm the idea of fungal secretion of mycotoxins penetrating into the surrounding tissues and damaging them.
