  • Title: [Clinical and immunologic studies of the use of thymus polypeptide factor (thymostimulin) in chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis].
    Author: Lutz G, Niedecken HW, Bauer R, Kreysel HW.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1986 Mar; 37(3):142-5. PubMed ID: 3486176.
    Abstract:
    T-cell lymphocyte subpopulations were successfully converted by means of thymus polypeptide factor in a 17-year-old boy with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis and combined immunodeficiency. It was demonstrated that the injections caused normalization of the peripheral T-lymphocytes subpopulations and a better state of general health. Normalization was due to a minimal increase in total peripheral T-lymphocytes and T-helper cells and a significant decrease in T-suppressor cells.
