Cellular and humoral immune status in women with chronic Candida vaginitis

The cellular and humoral immune responses of nine women with chronicCandida vaginitis and 29 control subjects were evaluated. Agglutinating and precipitating antibodies were studied and tests of lymphocyte transformation, lymphokine production, and cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity were performed....

Zusammenfassung:	The cellular and humoral immune responses of nine women with chronicCandida vaginitis and 29 control subjects were evaluated. Agglutinating and precipitating antibodies were studied and tests of lymphocyte transformation, lymphokine production, and cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity were performed. The results suggest a lack of cellular immune response toCandida antigens in women with chronicCandida vaginitis.
