Cell-mediated immunity in diabetes mellitus.

EVA LUATION OF THE ROLE OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN DERMATOPHYTOSIS

For demonstration of cell-mediated immunity and its role in the process of dermatophytosis, 98 patients with acute dermatophytosis (group I) and 131 chronic dermatophytosis patients (group 2) were chosen. In ail patients, lymphocyte transfonnation and skin test were used. 96 members of group I (98%) had positive delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to trichophytin, whereas only 43 ...

Vitiligo and auto immune diseases: A survey of 100 patients

Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disease which is characterized by depigmented patches due to loss of pigment cells. Evidence suggests that cell-mediated immunity plays a role in melanocyte destruction while some patients have antibodies to melanocytes or melanocytic proteins. Vitiligo is strongly associated with a number of autoimmune disorders. Autoimmune thyroiditis is the most prevalent disea...

T-cell Mediated Immunity in the Pathogenesis of Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus

Estimation Cell Mediated Immunity in Some Iraqi Patients with Type 1 and 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Cell-mediated immunity was estimated in diabetic patients by evaluation a level of CD4 and CD8 in type 1 and 2 diabetic patients. Of the 33 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus 17 were males and 16 were females, as well as the type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were made up of 17 males and 16 females. Both groups attend the outpatient Clinic in the National Diabetes Center, Al-Mustansiriya Uni...

Recurrent 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...

بررسی ارتباط بین پلی مرفیسم ژن اینترفرون گاما با دیابت نوع 1 در بیماران مراجعه کننده به مرکز تحقیقات غدد درون‌ریز و متابولیسم در نیم‌سال اول 82

Background: Type 1A Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic and progressive auto- immune disorder resulting from immune mediated destruction of Langerhans islet beta cells. The etiology of T1DM like the other autoimmune diseases is unknown and many factors are involved, Both humoral and cell-mediated immunity have a critical role in T1DM pathogenesis. The cytokines, the immunomodulatory peptides,...
