  • Title: Levamisole treatment of inflammatory acne. Restoration of impaired T-cell function accompanied by clearing of the lesions.
    Author: De Cree J, De Cock W, Verhaegen H.
    Journal: Biomedicine; 1979 Jul; 31(4):95-9. PubMed ID: 158397.
    Abstract:
    Serum hemolytic complement activity and its components C3, C4 and C1q, serum immunoglobulins A, M and G and peripheral E-rosette forming cells were determined in 11 patients with inflammatory acne. IgG levels were increased and the E-rosette formation was markedly impaired. Levamisole treatment restored the E-rosette formation and improved or cured the inflammatory lesions in 10 out of 11 patients.
