Popis: | Peripheral T and B cells were decreased in patients chronically infected with Trypanosome cruzi. The humoral response to Typhoid vaccine was suppressed in contrast with normal cutaneous delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions to Candida antigen, P.P.D., SK-SD, Vaccinia Virus antigen and DNCB. Complement and lg levels were between normal range and no immune complexes were detected by precipitation with polyethylene glycol. |
