[Considerations on the bacterial flora in patients with infections of the respiratory tract and in immunosuppressed patients (author's transl)]

Epidemiological features of pathogenic mycetes have been investigated with regard to their relationship with bacterial flora in patients with acute and chronic bronchopulmonary diseases and in immunosuppressed patients. Opportunistic mycetes (Candida and Aspergillus) have been found frequently associated with Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria. In immunosuppressed patients, the plenty of mycetic flora is related to the degree of immunoglobulin deficiency especially to the IgG and IgA levels.
