[Status of cellular immunity in viral, serous and meningococcal meningitis]

The paper is concerned with the immunological status of 62 patients with meningococcal and viral serous meningitides. A noticeable inhibition of cellular immunity, more pronounced in the CSF was detected. A correlation was shown to exist between the level of humoral factors that block T lymphocyte receptors in the CSF and the disease gravity.
