  • Title: Cell-mediated and humoral types of immunologic immunity in idiopathic pancytopenia.
    Author: Traczyk Z, Orczyńska E, Cieśluk S.
    Journal: Arch Immunol Ther Exp (Warsz); 1979; 27(1-2):1-7. PubMed ID: 312631.
    Abstract:
    In a majority of 34 patients (including 30 treated with androgens and glucocorticosteroids), the absolute lymphocyte count, percentage of the T population and its reactivity in vitro to PHA, PWM and sheep erythrocytes were normal. In one fourth of cases, serum levels of IgG and/or IgM classes of immunoglobulins were decreased. The deviations in levels of serum immunoglobulins, and in some patients in the lymphocyte count and in the T population and its reactivity to antigens were attributed to complex causes, including immunosuppressive treatment with adrenal glucocorticosteroids. It is suggested that indications for treatment with these hormones in cases of bone marrow aplasia with suppression of the lymphoid system should be restricted.
