title: [Status of cellular immunity in diabetic microangiopathy detected by skin biopsy].
abstract: As compared with normal persons, in 46 patients with diabetes mellitus there was a significant decrease in spontaneous leukocyte migration, a reduction in the absolute count of T-, B- and O-lymphocytes, and a rise in the relative count of D-lymphocytes. The disorders of cell-mediated immunity are formed during the first five years of illness. They do not depend on the diabetes severity, distinctly growing on with the appearance and increase of the degree of diabetic microangiopathy diagnosed on morphological analysis of skin biopsy specimens.
