Abstract
Summary: The authors studied the T‐ and B‐lymphocyte sub‐populations, the stimulation of the lymphocytes with phytohaemagglutinin and pokeweed mitogen, the non‐specific T suppressor activity and the amounts of serum IgE in a group of thirty‐four patients with atopic dermatitis. Comparison with a group of 100 healthy controls revealed a diminution in the T sub‐population, an increase in the B sub‐population, no change in the response index to stimulation with phytohaemagglutinin or pokeweed mitogen, a diminished T‐suppressor activity and an increase in the level of serum IgE.
