    Author: Scalise G, Mura MS, Piersimoni C, Manca S, Cherchi G, Andreoni G.

    Abstract:
    9 patients with Kaposi's sarcoma, not treated with immunosuppressant drugs, were studied. In the Kaposi's disseminated form an impaired function of T mediated immunity (Leukocytes migration inhibition for PHA and PPD and skin test for DNCB) was found. The number of T lymphocytes (E rosettes) was normal. In the Kaposi's initial form with multiple dermal plaques and nodules, these alterations of cellular immunity were absent. In 4 patients elevated titles of Cytomegalovirus antibodies were found. The occurrence of an impairment of cellular immunity only in the serious and disseminated Kaposi's form is emphasized by the Authors.
