The use of oligosaccharides (I) and (II), i.e. oligo-beta -glucan-(1,3)-mannose, -mannitol, -glucose and -glucitol compounds and their 4-deoxy derivatives, as medicaments for treating tumor, cancer, viral, bacterial, fungal, immune system, autoimmune or immunostimulation deficiency-associated diseases is new. Some compounds (I) and (II) (i.e. the mannose and mannitol derivatives) are new, as are various intermediates. The use of oligosaccharides of formulae (I) and (II) is claimed in the preparation of a medicament for treating tumor, cancer, viral, bacterial, fungal, immune system, autoimmune or immunostimulation deficiency-associated diseases in humans and warm-blooded animals.
