Cellular immunity in lobomycosis (keloidal blastomycosis).

The cellular immune response of twelve patients from the Brazilian Amazon basin with lobomycosis were assessed. Delayed skin reaction to bacterial and fungal antigens, skin allograft rejection, and sensitization to dinitrochlorobenzene were studied. Ninety-two percent of the patients were not reactive to dinitrochlorobenzene after sensitization; skin allograft rejection occurred in an average of 17 days. Delayed skin reaction to streptococcal, staphylococcal, trichophytin and candida antigens was negative in the majority of the patients. Reactivity to mycobacterial antigens, however, was very high. The results suggest that patients with lobomycosis are partially cellular immunodeficient.
