title: [Usefulness of Multitest CMI for the measurement of cell-mediated immunity in patients with bronchial asthma].
abstract: Cell-mediated immunity has been measured in vivo in 30 patients with allergic-infectious bronchial asthma with the use of Multitest CMI (Merieux). A decrease in the immunological reactivity has been showed in the asthmatic patients. It was expressed by means of the arithmetic mean value of the positive reactions, and was particularly significant in patients who require long-term corticotherapy. The obtained results suggest that Multitest CMI is a new, valuable device in the diagnosis and monitoring the treatment in asthmatic patients.
