Abstract:   (4105 Views)
In order to study and evaluate the indirect immunofluorescent test and the ratio of CD41ymphocytes to CD8 lymphocytes, 97 cases of positive candida cultures were selected from among 400 patients referring to the hospital and suspected of candidiasis. In this study 39% of the patients had an antibody titer less than 1: 160 No significant correlation was seen between canclidiasis and the results of the indirect immunofluorescent test. But, considering the site of isolation, the antibody titer was above I: 160 in all cases in• which candida was isolated from blood, whereas only4X'Y, of samples in which candida was isolated from urine had an antibody titer above I: 160 7% of cases in which candida was isolated from the vagina had an antibody titer above I: 160. Patients suffering from systemic candidiasis had a decreased CD4/ CD8 lymphocyte ratio compared to normal subjects, whereas in vaginal and skin candidiasis, the ratio had not differed significantly.
