T and B lymphocytes in peripheral blood in anesthesiologic personnel.
T and B lymphocytes were determined quantitatively in anesthesiologic personnel by the rosette technique. Percentages of T lymphocytes were diminished, while the lymphatic system of the peripheral blood showed signs of stimulation. The drop in percentages of T lymphocytes was greater in physicians compared with anesthesiologic nurses.
