In a pilot study the antimycetic effect of the lectin anti-AHP in 40 patients suffering from different mycoses was studied. The treatment with an aqueous solution of anti-AHP resulted in a complete healing in 15 of 40 cases and in 16 patients in a remarkable improvement, whereas in 9 cases such an effect has not been observed. The mode of operations remains still unknown, possible actions of anti-AHP on fungi and stratum corneum are discussed.
