title: Immunological profile in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
abstract: In 51 cases with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and in 25 healthy subjects, immunological state was determined by resorting to values of the following parameters of nonspecific immunity: the levels of G, A and M immunoglobulins, antistreptolysins, complement, T and B lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes and the skin test with recall antigens. The values were expressed according to the points system of Nagel et al. The results of studies revealed that in all but one case the values were lower than in controls. Also certain differences in immunological profile between respective lymphoma types were observed.
