[The effect of specific sensitization and corticosteroid hormones on the course of experimental antimycotic infection].

Infection of mice and rats with actinomycetes against the background of hydrocortisone administration led to acute actinosepsis of animals to actinomycetes or extracellularly-secreted products of microbial activity contributed to the transformation of an acute infectious process into chronic, with the formation of actinomycetes hyphae in the organs. Chronic actinomycosis courses in the presence of the circulating antibodies mainly against the extracellularly-secreted products of actinomycetes vital activity.
