[Characteristics of secondary immunodeficiency in patients with neurocirculatory dystonia].
OBJECTIVE
Investigation of clinical-laboratory parameters of secondary immunodeficiency (SID) in patients with neurocirculatory dystonia (NSD).


METHODS
Vegetative and immunological statuses were assessed in 104 males aged 30 to 57 years with NSD exposed to 0.01-0.1 Gy radiation after the Chernobyl accident.


RESULTS
The patients were diagnosed to have SID the types and forms of which differed with NSD type. Symptoms of SID were evident in 29, 18, 13 and 83% of patients with mixed, hypotonic, hypertonic NSD, NSD without somatic disorders, respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
As 85% of the examinees had SID, it is necessary to treat NSD with immunomodulation adjusted to each NSD type.
