title: [Mechanisms of cellular defense in cadidiasis].
abstract: The data obtained in this research on experimental lung candidiasis in mice suggest that a specific part of cellular resistance (thymus) evidently fails to play the leading role in initiating the infectious process. The major function of hindering candidiasis development belongs to neutrophilic leucocytes whose phagocytosis is eliminating the causal agents from the organism.
