The cellular immune system in female patients with or without genital warts: a study of peripheral white blood cell
1Department of Genito-urinary Medicine, Middlesbrough General Hospital, Cleveland, UK.
Abstract:
The immune system plays a vital role in the fight against infections. The commonest viral infections treated in the genitourinary medicine (GUM) departments are genital warts. Knowledge about the status of the immune system in these patients may help in their clinical management. This study compares the values of various blood cell components in the peripheral blood of 2 groups of female patients--those with genital warts against those without genital warts. The mean monocyte count was lower among patients with genital warts.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
