Abstract
Simultaneous administration of immune rabbit gamma-globulin with either nystain or amphotericin B was found to exert a protective action against experimental mouse blastomycosis significantly greater than that which would be expected of an additive effect. The same globulin, however, diminished the protective action of 2-aminostillbamidine. It is suggested that the use in human systemic mycoses of specific globulin together with antifungal antibiotics might result in more effective employment of the latter and a minizing of unfavourable side reactions. L'administration simultanée de gamma-globuline de lapin immunisé et de nystatine ou d'amphotéricine B exerce une action protectrice contre la blastomycose expérimentale de la souris, qui est sensiblement plus marquée qu'on ne l'attendrait d'un effect additif. La même globuline, toutefois. diminue l'action protectrice de la 2-aminostilbamidine. On suggère que l'emploi, dans les mycoses humaines généralisées, de globuline spécifique associée à des antibiotiques fongicides pourriat produire une meilleure utilisation de ces derniers et minimiser les réactions annexes défavorable.Keywords
