Passive Transfer Antibodies for Six Saprophytic Fungi in a Patient with a Superficial Scaling Dermatosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent interest in the relationship of fungi to human disease, both as infecting agents and as incitants of phenomena of hypersensitivity, induced us to undertake a detailed study of a patient who presents an uncommon skin lesion which appears to be associated with sensitivity to at least six species of non-pathogenic fungi. Passive transfer antibodies for these fungi were present in the patient's serum, and their reciprocal neutralization by three members of different genera of fungi is of mycologic interest.
