[Immune status of school children of 1st classes under different schooling conditions]

Changes in the immune status of first-form pupils were studied as an child body's adaptation index to schooling conditions. A complex of immunological tests included the following parameters: T lymphocytes (E-RFC), B lymphocytes, T lymphocyte subpopulation, IgA, IgM, IgG, circulating immune complexes (CIC). There was a definite relationship of the schooling conditions to the children's immunity. The routine one-shift schooling regimen in primary-form pupils is not optimal in terms of their adaptation to school, which appears as decreased immunological responsiveness. Full-day schooling of junior schoolchildren allows them to adapt to their new activities more easily after they enter school, the risk for immunological disorders and the likelihood of their related diseases to become lower.
