Suppressor T cells in mycosis fungoides and so-called premycotic eruptions

The proportions of suppressor T cells (TG) and helper T cells (TM) were determined in 5 patients with Mycosis fungoides (MF), 4 patients with parapsoriasis en plaques/poikiloderma atrophicans vasculare and 3 patients with generalized chronic dermatitis. All the MF patients showed increased proportions of suppressor T cells, whereas the others did not differ from age- and sex-matched healthy controls.
