Abstrakt: The changes that occur in cell mediated and humoral immunity in patients suffering from chronic renal failure associated with schistosomiasis were studied. There was a decrease in T3%, T4% and T4/T8 ratio. IgG, IgM and IgE levels were found to be increased in such cases. It was concluded that there was a reciprocal relationship between cell mediated immunity and IgE levels in cases with chronic renal failure associated with bilharzial hepatosplenomegaly.
