The thymus
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Individuals with no thymus rapidly die from opportunistic infections due to total failure of the immune system. Experience in cases of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) known as AIDS clearly shows that the thymus gland and the thymus helper lymphocytes (T cells) dependent on it are destroyed in the course of the disease. This generally triggers a series of severe consequential illnesses.
