title: Effect of recombinant human interleukin 2 in experimental murine coccidioidomycosis.
abstract: The therapeutic effect of recombinant human interleukin 2 (rH IL-2) was assessed in experimental murine coccidioidomycosis by daily IV injection for 30 days of doses ranging decimally from 2.5 X 10(1) to 2.5 X 10(5) units. The treatment with rH IL-2 had neither adverse nor salutary effects.
