title: [Evaluation in vivo, with delayed hypersensitivity skin tests, of cell mediated immunity in patients with severe obesity].
abstract: The immune conditions of seriously obese patients have been studied by means of delayed hypersensitivity skin tests. A significant increase was observed in skin reactivity after inoculation of Streptokinase/Streptodornase and Candidine (p < 0.05). The pathogenetic hypotheses put forward to explain the phenomenon are discussed.
