[Hormonal and immunological status of children with thymus hyperplasia].
The state of the adrenocortical system, cellular and humoral immunity was studied in 152 infants, suffering from thymomegaly, associated with virus-bacterial pneumonia. The results obtained allow one of to consider the hormonal and immunological state of the patients with thymomegaly to be inhibited and the adrenocortical hypofunction to be secondary. Therefore, the infants with thymomegaly should be separated into a special "risk" group, according to their immunodeficient states, respiratory allergies, acute and chronic adrenocortical deficiency.
