[Course of cellular immunity in patients with chronic inflammatory intestinal disease].
In a preliminary study of the immunological aspects of intestinal inflammatory disease we found an immunological deficit of T helper lymphocytes, decreased monocytes and chemotaxis and poor response to nonspecific mitogen stimulus. Based on these findings, the study was repeated in the same patients three years later to confirm the evolution of this deficit. Recuperation was observed in the cases in which the disease evolved favorably, suggesting that certain aspects of the immune disorder might be secondary.
