title: [Levamisole in lung diseases].
abstract: Several years of experience have demonstrated that levamisole can be used on a wide scale in pneumology, not only in lung cancer but also in: chronic and acute tuberculosis, in purulent bronchiectasic bronchitis, in lung abscess, in sarcoidosis and in some lung mycosis. In fact, in our patients we have observed a marked improvement of the clinical and radiological conditions and of the immunological data. In several cases the satisfactory results obtained remained unchanged during the whole period of our control (8 months): in other cases showing the beginning of an impairment a new short period of treatment with levamisole following the usual schedule was sufficient to block the threat of a worsening situation.
