[The assessment of cell-mediated immunity in allergy patients]

The cell-mediated immunity was assessed in patients with atopic bronchial asthma, non-atopic bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis by intracutaneous tests with bacterial allergens. "Set for cell immunity determination" and phytohemagglutinin. The cell-mediated immunity was statistically significantly more often disturbed in the allergic patients than in the healthy controls. The differences between the separate nosologic entities were insignificant. Best correlations were found between the tests with phytohemagglutinin and the standard set and between phytohemagglutinin and tuberculin from the standard set.
