title: [Interleukin 2 production in patients with thyroid diseases].
abstract: Con A-induced production of interleukin 2 was studied in peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from 15 normal subjects and 42 patients with different thyroid diseases. It was found that thyroid diseases are accompanied by changes in IL 2 production. The level of IL 2 production by T lymphocytes is determined by the functional status of thyroid glands, their anatomy, stages of the disease and mode of treatment.
