Immunoregulating influence of levamisole on migration of leukocytes in vivo and in vitro in patients treated for a long time with corticosteroids.
Migration of peripheral blood leukocytes test in vivo and in vitro was performed in 60 patients with chronic spastic bronchitis. More than half of subjects studied were given Levamisole (Decaris, Richter). On the basis of a three-year-long observation it was shown, that levamisol eliminates a depressive effect of corticosteroids on the migration of leukocytes both in vivo and in vitro.
