Lack of correlation between in vitro immunological alterations and the development of scleroderma-like skin lesions in toxic oil syndrome patients.

Abstract excerpt

We examined whether immunological disturbances could influence the development of scleroderma-like skin lesions in patients affected by the Spanish toxic oil syndrome (TOS). To this end, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were collected from 13 chronic patients and 8 control subjects.
