It has been recently shown that the skin has a really active role in the immune system. The evaluation of delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity is an important step for the screening of the cell-mediated immune response. The multitest system contains seven antigens and 1 control put together in the same instrument. The results obtained with multitest are more reliable than those with monoantigenic systems. The Authors studied 138 patients affected by diseases with presumable cell-mediated immune deficiency. The comparison between clinical suspicion of immune deficiency, laboratory tests, and multitest showed statistically the usefulness and reliability of this test as a part of the screening for cellular immune deficiency.
