title: [Stimulation of phagocyte activity by Thym-Uvocal in chronic skin infections].
abstract: 15 patients with chronic relapsing bacterial skin infections (pyodermia, furunkulosis) and chronic recurring intestinal candidosis have been treated successfully with a thymus peptide mixture. The initially decreased indices of phagocytosis could be increased or normalized by this therapy. The results clearly demonstrate the efficiency of a thymus peptide mixture and encourage for further investigations. No side effects have been reported during the study.
