## Background: Malassezia is the aetiological agent of pityriasis versicolor. the mycelial phase of the organism predominates in lesions of pityriasis versicolor. ## Objectives: To evaluate the cell-mediated immune (cmi) response to the mycelial phase of malassezia in patients with this disease,
Humoral and cellular immune responses to Salmonella typhi have been studied in nine children with typhoid fever. By using dot immunobinding assay, anti-0-polysaccharide chain and antilipid A antibody titers have been evaluated during the course of the disease. Anti-0-polysaccharide chain antibody ti
