Abstract

Research has been conducted on nonspecific secretory immunity in HIV-infected patients with oral candidiasis. The study of this immunity has been carried out via measuring lysozyme, lactoferrin, secretory IgA and total IgA levels, and the results demonstrate that despite saliva concentration and good intestinal output innate immunity could not prevent yeast expansion in HIV-infected patients.
