متن کاملHuman immunodeficiency virus infection alters antigen-induced cytokine responses in patients with active mycobacterial diseases.
Peripheral blood cells from 29 patients with active Mycobacterium avium (MAC) or Mycobacterium tuberculosis diseases were tested for mycobacterial antigen-induced interferon (IFN)-gamma and interleukin (IL)-4 production. Among MAC patients, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was associated with an 80% decrease in those who produced IFN-gamma, resulting in a predominantly type 2 cytoki...
متن کاملAnticardiolipin antibodies in patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases.
The presence of antibodies to cardiolipin was determined (by an ELISA) in 143 patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases. Thirty (21%) had raised anticardiolipin antibody levels compared with only three in 98 age matched controls. The highest prevalence of this autoantibody was found in the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. Patients with selective IgA deficiency also showed a high prevalence of th...
