Candida albicans was undetectable in the blood, lungs, spleen, liver or kidneys of mice 24hr after oral Candida administration even under condition of severe damage to the host defence system, but became detectable in the liver and kidneys of mice when they received combined treatment of antibiotics, x-ray irradiation and dexamethasone 3 and 5 days after oral Candida administration.
