Cell-mediated immunity in patients positive for hepatitis-associated antigen.
Cell-mediated immunity to antigens prepared from both serum and liver of patients positive for hepatitis-associated antigen (H.A.A.) was measured by using the leucocyte migration test. Altogether, 43 patients with H.A.A.-positive acute and chronic liver disease, eight with serum antibody to H.A.A., and 13 controls were studied. The cell-mediated immunity detected was specific for H.A.A. or othe...
متن کاملLiver disease and cell-mediated immunity in hepatitis-associated antigen (HAA) carriers.
As the incidence of liver disease in hepatitis-associated antigen (HAA) carriers has not been defined and it has been postulated that continuing liver disease is associated with incompetence of the cell-mediated immune system, a prospective study was undertaken to examine both these points.An increased incidence of HAA carriers was found in a prison population (1.3%). Eighteen of these subjects...
متن کاملProceedings: Hepatitis-associated-antigen-positive hepatitis in a tuberculosis unit.
An outbreak of hepatitis-associated-antigen-(HB Ag)-positive hepatitis in a hospital unit for the care of male patients with pulmonary tuberculosis is described. Sixty-four patients were studied of whom 37 were HB Ag positive. Hepatitis developed in at least 20 and was icteric in 11. The illness was mild, without fatality due to hepatitis and persistent jaundice did not occur. A carrier state d...
متن کاملRecurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis: Could It Be Related to Cell-Mediated Immunity Defect in Response to Candida Antigen?
Objective Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is a common cause of morbidity affecting millions of women worldwide. Patients with RVVC are thought to have an underlying immunologic defect. This study has been established to evaluate cell mediated immunity defect in response to candida antigen in RVVC cases. MaterialsAndMethods Our cross sectional study was performed in 3 groups of RVVC pa...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN MUSTARD GAS INJURIES
Yamakido, et al. in 1986 have studied immunological parameters in poison gas workers, and a depression has been observed in immunologic response. Also, the frequency of cancer has reached as high as five-fold that of the general population. In the present study, cell-mediated immunity (CMI) was measured in three groups of Iranian mustard gas-injured patients. The first group were those wh...
