[The interferon status of patients with lymphoproliferative diseases of the skin and Kaposi's sarcoma].

Differences in the interferon status of various nature were revealed in patients with lymphoproliferative diseases of the skin and with Kaposi's sarcoma, whose interferon system was examined in respect of its three major parameters. Such data are a sufficient basis for the correction of the detected changes by interferon preparations combined with other chemical drugs. Two parameters of the interferon system may serve as criteria of interferon therapy efficacy: increased alpha-interferon level and, more so, normalization of the gamma component of interferon production, tested by the gamma parameter.
