title: [Functional characteristics of the endocrine and immune systems in patients with visceral candidiasis].
abstract: A study was made of pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, endocrine pancreatic, adrenocortical and immune system functions in 56 patients afflicted with visceral candidiasis. The clinical and laboratory data obtained point to the presence in some patients with visceral candidiasis of parathyroid, thyroid, pancreatic and adrenocortical dysfunctions, attesting to their importance in the disease pathogenesis. The role of immune disorders, particularly that of the T component of the immunity system is found to be of paramount importance as well in the pathogenesis of candidiasis. Correction of endocrine disorders coupled with antimycotic therapy brought about a more rapid and steadier therapeutic effect.
