Transfer factor as an approach to the treatment of immune deficiency disease.

Use of transfer factor in the treatment of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is discussed. The clinical experience in treating 2 patients with different clinical expressions of the syndrome and their different responses to treatment with repeated injections of transfer factor given in conjunction with amphotericin-B are reported. Results indicate that this form of therapy is a safe and effective way of restoring cell-mediated immunity to Candida and successfully treating some patients with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.
