[The effect of a synthetic thymus peptide (thymogen) on the immune system in candidiasis under immunodepression]
Plain-language summary
Paraphrased from the published abstract below — not a verdict on whether anything works.
This study (species not specified) examined experimental candidiasis developing against a background of secondary immunodeficiency and the effect of thymogen injections. The authors reported that after thymogen injections, the course of candidiasis proceeded less severely, suggesting thymogen activates the immunocompetent system, including the thymus, and is associated with disappearance of the fungal infection.
Abstract
Experimental candidiasis developing against the background of the secondary immunodeficiency is described. After thymogen injections the course of candidiasis proceeds less severely, this suggesting that thymogen activates the immunocompetent system, including thymus, favouring the disappearance of the fungal infection.
