Abstract
Fourteen patients with clinical and histological evidence of mycosis fungoides have undergone a series of immunological tests. Significant findings include the presence of low numbers of E and EAC rosette-forming cells in the peripheral circulation of the mycosis fungoides patients. Elevated levels of IgE were seen in five of the mycosis fungoides patients, and the mean IgE level was significantly higher than in the control series. Possible explanations of these findings are considered.Keywords
