title: [Variations in lymphocyte subsets in chronic inflammatory and neoplastic pathology in the elderly. II. Discriminant stepwise analysis].
abstract: The variations of lymphocyte subsets in chronic inflammatory and neoplastic diseases in an elderly population, have been previously reported. The different behavior of all the subsets that had shown significant variations of frequencies and absolute values within the groups with the Multivariate Analysis of Variance, have been studied. The use of the Discriminant Stepwise Analysis has given the chance to spot the discriminant subsets and their ability in discriminating the inflammatory and the neoplastic groups from each other and from the controls and finally in pointing out all the subsets which did not affect such differentiation.
