title: [Immune reactivity of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis suffering from chronic alcoholism].
abstract: The immunological reactivity was studied in 152 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis of whom 112 suffered also of alcoholism. All patients with association of the two diseases showed inhibition of the functional activity and reduction of the number of T-lymphocytes while those without alcoholism showed these changes in 80%. Use of T-activin and electrophoresis of chlorophyllypt allowed to restore the moderately reduced reactivity in most patients. In markedly reduced inhibition of cellular immunity T-activin proved more effective.
