title: [T- and B-immunity system indices in candidiasis].
abstract: The examination of 73 patients with superficial and visceral candidiasis and Candida-carriers yielded no data to the effect that the increased activity of opportunistic fungi of the genus Candida in the body was preceded by organic lesions in the T- and B-systems of lymphocytes. Only in 16 patients who had visceral candidiasis for 8-12 years with combined lesions of several organs the decreased capacity of lymphocytes for reacting with phytohemagglutinin was observed, which was probably a manifestation of the secondary immune insufficiency, developing in the presence of prolonged infection.
