Changed glycogen levels in the neutrophils and monocytes is a pathogenetic component contributing to the development of mycoses of the soles and a characteristic feature of nonspecific immune reactivity. The neutrophilic phagocytic activity is depressed in such patients, and the monocytes are functionally inert. Furazolidonum, potassium orotate, and riboflavin are effective stimulants of the cell-mediated defense in such patients.
