title: [Changes in immunologic indices in patients with brain tumors].
abstract: Patients with tumors of the brain underwent complex immunological examination. Anticerebral antibodies were discovered and the IgM and IgG levels were found to be diminished. Reduction of the T lymphocyte content was paralleled by the compensatory increase of the B lymphocyte level in the blood. It is shown that according to the findings of some allergic tests, neurosensitization develops; the tests employed were the leukocyte injury, leukocyte agglomeration, and leukocyte migration inhibition. The immune disorders and the autoimmune shifts correlate with the stage of the organism compensation, the degree of tumor malignancy, and the efficacy of the operation.
