[Focal infection in dentistry: the in vitro specific lymphocyte blast test].
The authors used an "in vitro" test of specific blastogenic response to streptococcal antigens, to evidence a sensitivity status in chronic odontogenic infections. The authors didn't find always a direct correlation between specific lymphoproliferative response and haematologic tests but found a good correlation with clinics. They conclude an increased value of specific lymphoproliferative response as predictive meaning of metafocal diseases.
