Editors’ note: This study investigating the value and safety of Candin for clinical use in children demonstrated effectiveness and safety. Candin is a reagent or skin test for sensitivity to Candida albicans, a yeast microorganism that can cause infection. The study recommends using Candin in combination with other reagents in infants with anergy to see if they react to antigens other than Candida albicans. Anergy is described in Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary as the impaired or absent ability to react to common antigens administered through skin testing. Antigens are markers on the surface of cells that stimulate production of antibodies. In this study, Candin was tested at the same time as a skin test for tuberculosis (purified protein derivative tuberculosis) for comparison of results. Read More »
