title: [Comparative evaluation of efficiency of various immunologic reactions with Candida antigens in detecting immediate hypersensitivity].
abstract: In the dynamic survey of 577 persons having had contacts with yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida the effectiveness of tests for the diagnosis of mycogenic sensitization was made with the use of a number of immunological methods. The basophil degranulation test was shown to have higher sensitivity and specificity in the detection of hypersensitivity to microbial strains used in the production processes of microbiological synthesis, while the use of polysaccharide antigens is more expedient in immunological reactions, such as the precipitation test with the finished product obtained by these processes and with C. albicans. Some prevalence of the level of sensitization in the presence of Candida carriership was established in persons having had contacts with these fungi.
