[Treatment with levamisole in a case of deficiency of the neutrophil granulocyte function associated with an increase in plasma IgA and recurrent dermal abscess infections].
The authors describe a case of recurrent dermal abscess infections resistant to usual antibiotic therapy and demonstrating a failing of the activity of the neutrophils and a remarkable increase of plasmatic IgA. The treatment with Levamisole regularized the laboratory data and, as a result, determined a consequent important improvement of the patient.
