[Cellular immunity in patients with ulcerous forms of chronic pyoderma undergoing treatment]

Clinical and immunologic examinations of 55 patients suffering from ulcerous forms of chronic pyoderma have revealed increased counts of the peripheral blood theophylline-sensitive T-lymphocytes before therapy. A decrease of the level of this subpopulation, mainly responsible for the suppressor-cytotoxic function of T-cells, during combined therapy including prospidin is suggestive of an immunocorrecting effect of this drug.
