[The immune system status after the impact from local vibrations]
Abstract:
The article presents results of immunologic studies in 111 vibration disease sufferers with variable exposure, age, sex and severity of disease. The examinees were proved to have depressed cellular immunity--lower E-RFC count with decreased number of active E-RFC and levamisole--correctable modifications of T-cells; inhibited humoral immunity--lower levels of IgM, IgG, IgA; contradictory changes of neutrophils functions--depressed phagocytosis and metabolic activity with pronounced rosette formation; halted immune factors of saliva.

Stages of Infection
Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin create...

What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature is...
Immune Response Against Viral Pathogens
NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
