title: [Immunologic study of patients with chronic pharyngitis].
abstract: The immunological status of 20 patients with chronic pharyngitis was studied. In 55% an increase of the T suppressor population was present while an inversion of T4/T8 ratio have a statistical significance compared with the control group (p = 0.029 and p = 0.003 respectively). The conclusion is drawn that an immunodeficiency is present in such patients and that treatment with immunostimulation drugs is justified.
