[Immune reaction in von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis].
A multidisciplinary study was performed on cases of neurofibromatosis to highlight the immunological reaction using broad-spectrum hematic tests and multiphase evaluation together with clinical and instrumental monitoring. The aim of the study was to focus attention on this rare disease and prompt further sequential immunological studies. A greater knowledge of the disease would allow the promising potential of new drugs to be exploited, in particular selective immunomodulatory drugs, in the hope of controlling the symptoms of disease (and overcoming further obstacles to the surgical removal of any neurofibromas that the patient wishes.
