[Immunological aspects of Kaposi's disease].
A dynamic complex evaluation of immunologic vigor was carried out in 17 cases of Kaposi's sarcoma. Immunologic disorders were found to be in a correlation with clinical course. Three groups were identified: (1) patients with favourable prognosis (OKT4+/OKT8+ ratio--1.46 +/- 0.09), (12) slowly advancing disease (OKT4+/OKT8+ ratio--0.87 +/- 0.13) and (3) unfavorable clinical course (OKT4+/OKT8+ ratio--0.47 +/- 0.04). The said variations are comparable to those of cyclic nucleotide level in blood lymphocytes.
