Abstract

Allergic diseases in patients with tuberculosis occur three times more frequent than in the nontubercular population. Drug-related allergy is most frequent. The causes of allergy in this contingent of patients are diverse. Of one them is, apparently, high frequency of sensibilization to Candida fungi determined by skin tests and immunothermistography. This problem deserves a more detailed investigation.
