[Immune system function in candidiasis patients].

Z O Karaev, N V Sardyko, T N Lebedeva

    Zhurnal Mikrobiologii, Epidemiologii I Immunobiologii
    |November 1, 1987

    Summary

    Chronic candidiasis, a severe skin and mucous membrane infection, is linked to reduced T-lymphocytes and elevated Candida antigen/antibody levels. Other forms showed similar immune profiles to healthy individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Candidiasis encompasses a spectrum of infections caused by Candida species.
    • Understanding the immunological underpinnings of different candidiasis forms is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare clinical and immunological features across various candidiasis presentations.
    • To identify immune system differences associated with disease severity and dissemination.

    Main Methods:

    • Examination of 58 candidiasis patients with varying disease severity.
    • Analysis of T-lymphocyte counts, subpopulations, Candida antigen, and antibody titers.
    • Assessment of hypersensitivity reactions.

    Main Results:

    • Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis showed decreased T-lymphocytes and elevated Candida antigen/antibody titers.
    • Visceral and vulvovaginal candidiasis exhibited immune profiles similar to healthy controls.
    • Increased immediate and mixed hypersensitivity observed in candidiasis patients, particularly in severe forms.

    Conclusions:

    • Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is associated with specific T-lymphocyte alterations and a robust humoral response to Candida.
    • Immune responses in other candidiasis forms may not deviate significantly from healthy individuals.
    • Hypersensitivity reactions are more prevalent in candidiasis, especially in severe cases.
