Abstract:
Cellular immunity against Leishmania infantum antigens was studied in visceral leishmaniasis patients and healthy subjects living in a endemic area. Only the healthy subjects were TTL positive with production of gamma interferon, whereas the visceral leishmaniasis patients presented a transitory inhibition of their specific cellular response mechanisms.
