[Immunity changes in liver echinococcosis]
Abstract:
A research is conducted over the Circulating immune complexes (CIC) of the T- and B- immunity blood cell systems. Statistical significant increase of the CIC is established and decrease of the T-lymphocytes, without changes in the B-lymphocytes count. The immunosuppressive effect of the echinococcosis over the T-lymphocyte system and the increase of the activity of the B-lymphocytes, without changes in their count is demonstrated. CIC deposits in the capilar intima causes allergic immunocomplex glomerulonephritis and other systemic damages. The research proves the necessity for immunomodulating therapy in the preoperative preparation of the patient and after ehinococcectomy.
