Abstract: | Clinico-immunological study has revealed that staphylococcal pyoderma develops simultaneously with the sensitization of the body to the infective agent, resulting from recent or past cases of angina, sinusitis, etc. This sensitization enhances the sensitivity of the body to pyococci and thus creates the prerequisites not only for the primary disease, but also for subsequent relapses. This is facilitated by the suppression of nonspecific resistance, observed in the patients. |
