Title: [The effect of tuberculin therapy on immunologic indicators in adolescents with pulmonary tuberculosis]. Author: Knoring BE, Pavlova MV, Ivanova LA. Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1991; (12):31-4. PubMed ID: 1803370. Abstract: Study of a combination of immunologic parameters in 29 adolescents with pulmonary tuberculosis who were subject to a combined treatment with the use of tuberculin demonstrated a decline in heightened specific cellular sensitivity, enhancement of antituberculous antibodies synthesis, normalization of the content and functional activity of T- and B-lymphocytes and rise of the level of class G and M immunoglobulins. It has been concluded that tuberculin has a desensitizing action combined with simultaneous stimulation of humoral response and the normalizing action on the T-lymphocyte system.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
