Increase cellular immunity by using G-CSF for treatment of zoonotic dermatophytoses

ABSTRACT

In this study, 50 skin scrapings were taken from cattles as well as 20 samples were collected from the skin of human who had a contact with these animals. The percentage of T. verrucosum var. discoides isolated from cattles was 40%. The percentage of T. verrucosum var. discoides isolated from individual cases with a contact with cattle was 60%. In conclusion, WBCs counts were 5.5 Thos./UL at zero time and were increased to 26.4 after ten days during treatment, then increased to 59.2 Thos/UL after ten days of daily treatment, but the count was decreased to 35.1 Thos/UL when the cattle was clinically cured
