Cell immunologic reactions in estimating chronic brucellosis activity.
The study of cellular immunological reactions- lymphocyte blasttransformation reaction (LBTR) and leucocyte migration inhibition test (LMIT) in 201 patients with chronic brucellosis showed that they can be used as additional diagnostic criteria of chronic brucellosis activity estimation, especially in seronegative cases of the disease. On the basis of results obtained a diagnostic table is devised.
