title: [Immunologic characteristics of the pathogenesis of herpes zoster].
abstract: Patients suffering from herpes zoster were subjected to immunological studies including the determination of the levels of the main immunoglobulin classes (IgA, IgM, IgG) in 102 subjects and the blast transformation test (19 subjects). Sufficiently tense humoral immunity and low reserve potentialities of cell-mediated immunity were discovered. Based on the data obtained the authors point to the necessity of using immunocorrecting agents, particularly levamisole, in combined therapy of herpes zoster.
